How IT Recruiting Firm AVID Utilizes Social Recruitment Technology

AVID Technical Resources – a leading Information Technology contract and direct hire recruiting firm, recently announced their support and use of Jobmagic, a comprehensive social recruitment platform. AVID will be using Jobmagic as its go-to resource for posting jobs and attracting talent.

Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, AVID specializes in staffing for applications development and infrastructure support. While AVID works with all sizes of companies – from small businesses to Fortune 500 – their clientele covers a wide range of industries,  including biotechnology, construction, financial, government, and healthcare. Because of the scope and specificity of their job orders, AVID needed to find a recruitment platform that could bring in qualified candidates and deliver substantial exposure for their requisitions. “We fill highly technical positions, and some of our clients are very specific in their requirements,” said Andrea Chong, AVID’s interactive marketing manager, in a recent press release.

Jobmagic provided an answer. Their social media recruitment technology provides access to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and an additional 300 social networks. Leveraging these channels with additional tools  for referral hiring, social media native job posting and automatic job publishing, Jobmagic is capable of providing an innovative and comprehensive hiring solution. The technology allows for personalized job postings, social media publishing, branded social accounts, and a smart communication method between candidates and recruiters.

Using the Jobmagic platform, AVID has achieved unprecedented recruitment efficiency. AVID can post job openings natively to Facebook Jobs Tab and eliminate manual job re-entry thanks to Jobmagic’s integration with Bullhorn’s applicant tracking system. Jobs are then tweeted automatically during peak Twitter hours and sent instantly to AVID recruiters’ LinkedIn accounts.

“Posting jobs within Facebook increases the number of applications by up to 50 percent,” said Jindrich Liska, founder and chief executive officer of Jobmagic. “This increases the chances of finding just the right person, which is so important to specialized recruiting firms like AVID. We are dedicated to providing the best-of-breed social recruiting tools that help fill positions quickly with highly qualified candidates.”
