While I have been away from blogging for quite a long time,
I could not keep myself away from the thought of commencing it again and this
is sheer happiness to get back to blogging on my birthday today :)
Writing this to share my views on a question raised by
Sarang Brahme, a Talent Acquisition Leader with Capgemini, of being fair to
people by judging them on socializing via Twitter :) Well I found that be an
interesting perspective and scribbling down few thoughts over it.
I have very recently joined Twitter and absolutely thrilled
with its potential, I am yet to explore its effectiveness for Talent Acquisition
but writing this basis what I could explore in the past few weeks :)
Twitter- A platform
for all: Linked In apparently has built its identity as a great platform
for professional, an HR Professional or anybody else for that matter on Twitter
is free to share their views and perspectives on any aspect, be it Work, Sports
or any other interests they might hold. That gives Twitter an edge cos people
will prefer to be on a platform wherein they can discuss and share anything in
which they hold interest.
I truly believe and see Human Resource Professionals as the
key to great organization and recipe to become so is to:
1.
Keep yourself updated with the latest trends.
2.
Keep yourself engaged with the thought leaders
or simply hear them out, keeping in mind the 70-30-10 principle where in 10% of
the learnings come from observing and hearing out leaders J
3.
Twitter offers a great virtual platform to be a
part of groups and chat with likeminded or otherwise people with ease, I can’t think
of a better world where in you are not even required to step out to mingle with
people unlike NHRDN n SHRM etc. (keeping in mind how many people can afford to
find out time & money for such mega events, a harsh reality)
4. Fastest and the most crisp way of getting
information is Twitter- Who understands the importance of time better than a Sourcer or
Recruiter always pressed by time ;)
5. Knowledge never goes waste and what could be a
better platform to discuss variety than Twitter. While people bestow a lot of time
on FB, they tend to become too formal on Linked In.. ;). The Blue Bird portal truly is Therapeutic
for an improved horizon ;)
Would love to share more as I explore it further, till then Happy Tweeting :)
