The rise of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and the like is both a blessing and a curse. It’s never been so easy to pool insights, expertise and data. We’ve also never had to deal with so much clutter before. This talk explains how to harness social media’s strengths – particularly in identifying and managing talent – without being overwhelmed by the perils of hyper-connectivity. I will show you how to analyze your own “social graph,” so you can pinpoint valuable connections that you may not even realize. Join me for a survey of best current practices – and a look into the ways that social networking will transform talent-spotting even further in the next five years.
