College students who spend hours a day on Facebook might not be wasting their time, several studies suggest \u2014 they might even find jobs through social networking.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because savvy employers, according to new report, are increasingly\u00a0recruiting<\/a>\u00a0through social sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others.<\/p>\n

The report, published in\u00a0the Daily Pennsylvanian<\/a>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0 the student newspaper of the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Wharton School \u2014 cites one study that predicts the number of recruiters using Twitter alone will quadruple this year.<\/p>\n

Meantime, applicants are doing the same. LinkedIn reports that students and recent college graduates are the site\u2019s fastest-growing user demographic.<\/p>\n

The Daily Pennsylvanian article quotes Shannon Kelly, an associate director of Wharton\u2019s Career Services program, who notes that social networking sites give employers immediate and personal access to job-seekers.<\/p>\n

And that can give companies a leg up on their competitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore and more companies are using social media platforms to showcase business culture \u2026 it\u2019s no different from hiring a public relations company,\u201d Kelly tells the paper.<\/p>\n

Wharton junior Jacob Schulman wound up with two unsolicited job offers via Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t proactively searching for jobs,\u201d he says in the Daily Pennsylvanian article. \u201cI was just following companies that I liked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seems like a serendipitous outcome \u2014 Schulman gets an offer from a company he\u2019s genuinely interested in, and the company has a candidate who\u2019s already proven he\u2019s serious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[52,50],"class_list":["post-295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-industry","tag-social-media-sourcing","tag-social-recruiting"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nWho are you missing by not recruiting via social networks?
