How social networking sites are used to get a job

       About five years ago, the use of social media for recruiting employees was nil. Today, we use it extensively. Today, almost everyone who is connected to the Net, is present on at least one networking Website, be it Facebook, Orkut ,Google+,Twitter or Myspace. For workaholics, the most popular professional networking site is LinkedIn.
        According to the Kelly Global Workforce Index 2011, which covered 97,000 people across 30 countries and 2,000 people in India, about 35% of the respondents in the country scoured social networking sites to seek job openings.Realising the vast number of candidates that can be easily tapped on these portals, companies and head hunters have begun to rely on them to find potential employees.
