RECRUITMENT    SOCIAL MEDIA 

Singapore - Singaporean jobseekers say Facebook is their top social media platform used when it comes to obtaining career and job-related information.

In a online survey by Adecco, 20% out of 130 participants said they would use Facebook first for obtaining career and job-related information. LinkedIn came in second at 17%, while less than 1% opted for Twitter.

Lynne Ng, regional director for Adecco South East Asia, says social media has become very important to today’s job seeker in helping them to obtain information about a potential employer and to see if they would fit into that particular work environment.

"By reading blogs and participating in online conversations, an applicant can be thoroughly prepared for a job interview and have a number of good questions lined-up for the interview day."
