Apps Entertainment

I read a really interesting article on the problems with uptake on job search apps for social networking sites at the weekend. The general consensus is that it’s simply a problem with supply and demand. Destination sites like Facebook and Myspace may have phenomenal uptake on apps geared to dating, politics, music or the ritual throwing of animals to gain attention, but you’ll find take-up for job engines sadly lacking.
You can read the full article by Joel Cheesman, recruitment blogger extraordinaire, here. Worth checking and and joining the debate.

The reality right now, as one has already commented, is the lack of quality traffic on social networking sites geared towards recruitment. That’s just the climate that all these sites have generated and it’s difficult to overcome.
I do however like how the brand has more opportunity to express themselves on these types of sites and this is definitely worth exploring. It’s a given, people are already talking about you, so you may as well get in amongst it, find a voice, and engage with their customers - and potential candidates - for that matter.
