TwitJobs continues to grow and is now officially the largest job community in the world, with over 120,00 subscribers to job alerts and updates across 10 social networks around the world!
How did they do it? "We talk to people", said Jason Barrett, CEO and Founder of the London based start up. "Unlike other sites that have twitter accounts because their competitors do, we thought two way conversation on this and other platforms would be the best way to help more people individually."
"Twitter itself has a kind of built in customer service tool, as it reaches so many potential customers, using the right monitoring tools you can interact with 1,000's of people on an individual basis and in real time".
Interestingly, TwitJobs has done all of this without funding or 3rd party investment. "We had lots of interest, and still continue to get emails from potential investors daily, but we decided if the idea is strong enough (which we thought it was) and we could gain traction quickly, we could create this without investment". Jason continues "It's not for everyone though. We worked, and continue to work hard on TwitJobs answering individuals, and helping clients get the best ROI for their job advertisements. Days can consist of 17/18/19hrs of work, but hey, if that helps one person find a job that they didn't see the opportunitiy for previously, we think its worth it."
TwitJobs handled over 60,000 last month, and continue to grow further with clients such as Nickelodeon, Mccann Erickson, Google, BBC, Debenhams and a whole host of other major UK & Worldwide employers.
"Employers know they need to use social media for their recruiting. Right now, there's 100's of articles, events and seminars on social recruitment, in the UK alone, you could probably go to an event every day of the week, every week of the year. The key here is to make sure you are focusing your efforts on results from day one." "ROI in social is a big talking point, and to get immediate results is pretty much impossible if you are starting from scratch. The TwitJobs community is a living, breathing community of active jobseekers that nobody else in the world has access to, that's how we offer fantastic value, and why our clients are so happy with our services".
