How can we save time spent on the recruiting process and still make sure the quality is good?

The use of social media in hiring practices is increasing exponentially. Most companies encourage (or even require) candidates who register online to share their social media profiles. And when asked, many companies respond with, “Of course we use social media in our hiring practices.” Yet when pushed further – they quickly realize they are only touching the surface of what can be done with social media recruiting.

1. Use social media like face book, linkedIn,

2. Head hunting.

I agree that using social networks can reduce some time in terms of screening applicants. Also you may include a survey or something like employment test on the social network and have applicants take it, fill it out.. You can tell by their answers and scores if they are the right candidate. If they are you can then schedule the appointment for the interview and take it from there.
