For those who don’t think social media is a useful tool for finding a job, YOU’RE INSANE. As I mentioned last week I am heading home to Australia to get back in to the sunny way of life and I am searching for a role in the Social Media Recruitment space.

To date I can tell you the response and support has been amazing. Since tweeting about it all last week my call out to Australia has been Re-tweeted 20 times, I think this is amazing. The blog article itself has been viewed 64 times. Not bad.

Through all of this activity I have connected with some great people in various states that have offered their assistance and further contacts within the industry. Whilst the Australian market is still quite “green” in terms of social media recruitment adoption, there is certainly a growing awareness that their is an opportunity to be had.

Given all of this I have been advised from many circles, that given my 2 years experience in the UK, focus on enterprise social media solutions in the last 14 months and their faith and trust in my knowledge and ability, that I should consult to recruitment agencies and corporate’s on their social media recruitment strategy upon my return home to Australia. Quite flattering I must tell you.

So hoping not to stretch the Social Media friendship to far, if there are any recruitment agencies or companies in Australia running around in circles as to where to start with Social Media and it’s benefit’s then drop me a line. You will find many of my thoughts on this blog site and if they sound interesting then we should talk. Don’t worry about a heavy sales approach, that’s not my style.

I am easily contactable via this blog.
