SelectMinds and HireClix Create Partnership to Automate Social Recruiting Solutions

Social recruiting solutions provider SelectMinds and digital recruitment marketing agency HireClix have announced a partnership with the expressed goal being to enhance the effectiveness of corporate employee referral programs through the use of social networks. Part of the strategy is the authorization of HireClix to resell SelectMinds’ social recruiting solution TalentVine.

“Through our relationship with HireClix, we are making it possible for companies to truly leverage the power of social networks to generate referrals and candidate leads in a systematized, enterprise-wide campaign,” said Anne Berkowitch, CEO of SelectMinds. “We both understand that the best talent isn’t always actively looking for a job, and our shared goal is to give organizations the opportunity to uncover the best match to fill their hiring needs.”

Long understood to be a highly effective and cost efficient recruitment method or process, employee referrals are said to be 54 times more likely to lead to a job offer than a posting on a job board. TalentVine gives HR professionals the tools to automate the entire social recruiting campaign. Through the use of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, TalentVine accelerates the referral process by sending automatic alerts to both current and former employees when job vacancies occur, matching these employment opportunities to candidates within their social networks, and given referral suggestions.

“HireClix recommends that every employee referral program have two major components – a consistent flow of fresh new content and a system for making referrals via social media,” said Neil Costa, CEO of HireClix, “The TalentVine solution is scalable for mid-size and large companies, is easy for employees to use and is designed to reinforce the client’s employer brand across all touch points.”
