Searching for Talent via Social Networks NAS Interactive helps position organizations to reach broader audiences

NAS Interactive, a division of NAS Recruitment Communications is expanding its offering in the fast-growing field of social networking.

Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter and Tagged have become a cultural phenomenon not restricted to age or computer proficiency. College students, working parents, seniors, executives, professionals...57% of all active online users—over 130 million people—are members of at least one social network. And that makes these sites fertile ground for recruiters.

NAS’ Social Networking Employment Brand Interface helps HR organizations tap into this powerful Web 2.0 environment by helping them extend their Brand Presence using social networking sites (SNS).

“Since their introduction, social network sites have attracted millions of users who share common interests,” said Patty Van Leer, Senior Vice President of NAS’ Interactive Division. “This is where today’s HR goes to look for top talent. NAS Interactive helps clients to build their own niche community and extend their brand presence in unique ways within the SNS space.”
