Great Recruiting Tool: “We Don’t Block Facebook”

Great blog post and a very funny cartoon on Read, Write, Web from earlier this week.

I have had several leaders complain about their younger employees hanging out on Facebook everyday.  A few thoughts to consider here:

1.  Are they on Facebook, because you have not offered them a challenging task to complete?  Maybe your younger employees are completing tasks much more quickly than your more senior employees and are bored and looking for something to do.  So…hey…I’ll just get on Facebook until I am given something else to do.

2. How can you leverage this opportunity?  As an example, you could actually ask your millennials to use Facebook as a way to connect to potential clients or look for great future employees.

But…this blog says it all.  If you are trying to block Facebook, good luck!
