Are You Tweeting?

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 :)
