Why Crowdsourcing Works for Recruiting

By

Crowdsourcing is a “buzzword” that describes procuring services or goods from the “crowd.” Crowdsourcing is being widely used for soliciting funding, ideas and many other things, but the newest use of crowdsourcing is for talent acquisition.

Talent Crowdsourcing is the practice of leveraging a large community of independent recruiters, staffing firms, and in many cases industry professionals, to recruit and hire talent that matches the strategic and cultural goals of an organization.

Companies know that referrals are the best way to find candidates to fill open positions.  Referrals are often more qualified, take less time to hire and “fit” the company culture better but, in most cases, sources of good referrals are limited to in-house recruiting programs.

Companies may also know how much time people spend on social media – but they don’t know how to take advantage of it and put the two together.  The answer – crowdsourcing for recruiting.

Reflik is a game-changing system in recruiting based on social media networking and crowdsourcing.  We help you use the “crowd” to find applicants for your job openings.
