Recruiters have generally found that relying on multiple methods (social, email, phone, etc.) is the best way to engage with candidates; most take a gentle approach, using their first outreach to offer general details about a potential opportunity\u2014far fewer send specific job details along with that initial contact.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a general recognition among many of those surveyed that starting a dialogue around a candidate\u2019s passion, and slowly introducing the opportunity, is the best way to achieve success.<\/p>\n<p>Among tech-specific networks, a majority of recruiters used GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Dribbe to contact candidates; with regard to \u201ctraditional\u201d social media, sizable percentages of recruiters relied on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ for everything from promoting jobs and sharing content to finding mutual connections and contacting candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Why do recruiters use social media? Simply put, it translates into better results in candidate quality, quantity, and time-to-hire. Dice\u2019s data shows that, when done right, social media gets a good response from candidates.
