Ultimately, it is the way things are going - for big and small companies - but there are certain pitfalls and things to look out for that are fairly well-documented at this stage (legal issues and whatnot.) Companies need to take the plunge and get engaged. It's not expensive, the barriers to entry are low, but the opportunities and rewards are high. Companies can now cultivate a great employer brand (that may even be different from their corporate brand presented to customers) and reach a targeted audience of younger applicants.

Your blog is an outstanding resource, and I'm glad to source it. In addition, it only makes sense the HR would benefit from this media form... Social is about people, and so is HR. Brian: Thanks for your insights. I really appreciate your sharing these results. Anthony and Chris: Thank you! Kevin: You are too kind.

Good advice for every employer out there. You do a great job in explaining the pro’s and con’s in this “new” area. Good advice for every employer out there.

I really love when smart folks like you talk about the alternatives to straight marketing and pr stuff, and show the other ways the tools can be applied. It's a great strength in your perspective, and yet another reason why you're a mainstay read of mine. Excellent post.

I think every one of our last 10 hires would tell you that our blog had some influence on either the way they first heard about Viget or their decision to pursue an opening with us (or both). It's a great way to share not only the knowledge within an organization but the personality of a company as well. Right you are, Geoff.

Makes sense though. One of our large law firm blog clients just added an internal blog for sharing employee news and highlights. They are finding it to be a real morale builder. Keep up the good work Geoff. Nice to have a post of mine referenced for a blog providing a voice of reason in the HR arena. Makes sense though.
