The majority of good jobs are found through networking. Social recruiting and hiring (or leveraging social media during the recruiting/hiring process) is the norm. The majority of employers and recruiters now leverage social media when on the hunt for candidates. The most popular platform is LinkedIn, however more than half use Facebook, and nearly half use Twitter. But this use of social media is not just focused on (relatively) old established social media channels, a rising number of recruiters report utilizing Snap-chat, Instagram, and other smaller platforms during the recruiting/hiring process. Therefore, if social media is important to recruiters and employers, then using social media during the job search is also very important.
