If you are a recruiting firm that hasn’t yet adopted a social media strategy, now is the time to start.  Recruiting agencies everywhere are learning that success equals a combination of the best recruiting software and the canvassing of candidates through multiple social media channels.

Need proof?  A recent Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) study found that the swell of support and understanding of social media channels is growing within the industry:

• 56% use social media sites to recruit talent
• 77% of managerial positions are filled through social sites
• 84% used social channels to find passive candidates
