The 27 Key Social Media Practices to Consider

… from one of my favorite blogs, ResumeBear (please find more details to the bullettpoints there):

1. Digital proclivities
2. Social is mobile
3. Continuous ambient connectivity
4. Statversation
5. The Socialized Workforce
6. Social Recruiting
7. The Socialized Employee Referral Program
8. A Social-Share Culture
9. Spreadable is the new viral
10. Content Edge
11. Tech Forward organizations
12. Socialtechno Mentoring
13. Social recognition
14. Social media opportunities does not come gift wrapped
15. With Social Media comes Social Pressure
16. Video is preferred
17. Video is an effective message delivery medium
18. Video gets shared more often than text
19. Social learning is continuous
20. Social recognition
21. Social Performance Reviews:  Ditch the annual reviews and engage employees throughout the year using a social tool such as Rypple.
22. Rypple facilitates a social performance management culture
23. Social media can be empowering
24. The corporate and your personal brand must be defined
25. A socialized organization cannot control every communication
26. Social measures
27. Social goals

Especially the idea of a social performance management culture seems intriguing (maybe not yet fully thought through).

And I still cannot get myself to admire videos for recruiting purposes. But I am for sure spoiled by years of seeing boring and technically poor (and expensive) company videos, which were hyped as the state-of-the-art must-have of recruiting tools.
