Facebook 1,070 Fans Measuring Impact We look at incremental growth of Fans, or people “liking” our page, but most important is that they are interacting with the page. Post quality score is something we and TMP look at to gauge effectiveness.
Measuring Impact More important than the numbers is the answer to this question: Are we breaking through the clutter and having conversations with candidates?
Social is not the magic bullet Social is one part of a larger strategy Social is always evolving so stay on top of it Your employer brand experience is the “differentiator” Tips & Tricks
