Date set for next year’s Social Media in Recruitment conference

Online recruitment marketing specialists Web-Based-Recruitment.com have announced the date for the 2010 Social Media in Recruitment conference.  It's due to take place on Thursday 22^nd April, and will again be held at the British Library in London.

Web-Based-Recruitment founder Mike Taylor, who organised this year's inaugural conference, is looking forward to another successful event to help corporate recruiters, recruitment agencies and ad agencies, job boards and other industry suppliers to get the most out of using social media for recruitment.

"There were over 150 people at the first conference, which was a clear indication of the interest in social media," he says.  "Next year's conference will be held some nine months after the first one, which means that there will be plenty of new things to talk about and discuss."

In addition to case studies, the 2010 event will feature an interactive discussion panel and the chance for delegates to share their social media success stories.

The last word goes to Mike Taylor: "Social media can no longer be considered as a passing fad in recruitment," he says, "and on 22^nd April 2010 recruiters will have the opportunity to learn from organisations that are already using social media as part of their online recruitment strategy."
