EOC Week 5 : Social Networks and Job Hunting

I think that the way that they go about people using their product and hiring them from social media is a good idea. Because they know the product they use it so it benefits the company and the person who was employed. I think because they do a lot of social media people should be aware that it could also mess up a company based on some of the people that are hired. In the text they stated “it’s often a labor of love more than a paying job” (printed page 143 chapter 5 Armstrong & Kotler (2011). Marketing: An Introduction, 10th Ed. Prentice Hall Publishing). So a lot of them don’t think how some things they put on their personal social media sites affects t he company. They say that it is cheaper then having to spend money on billboards and things, but to my knowledge it cost to have an ad on face book or any other social networking site does it not. The vice president of Adobe Systems said, The antibodies kicked in pretty quickly. They thought it was very invasive," (Wall Street Journal Page One]. About the way other employees feel about getting new people in their work force. To me I feel like they should not look to social networking sites to find new employees. Because for the simple fact that it could interfere with how they run their place of business.  "While I wish every company used Monster, social is a solution that many people are using," says Matt Mund (Wall Street Journal Page Two]. I feel as if they should stick to their regular advertising for job postings because if they wanted loyal people they would go to good places to get a good jobs. Also going off of social networking can be bad for a company because if they do have people from their company on their doing something horrible they can get in trouble. That’s why I think they should stay with they regular job hunting sites on the Internet.
