Facebook is a behemoth. The site generates an astounding 864 million daily active users.

How can recruiters harness the largest social networking site in the world? Is the new Graph Search function a game changer for sourcers? This week we will explore the adoption of FB in Australia for recruitment purpose. Our host is Lauren Stanton from Ernst & Young.

Questions to tackle:

2. Is sourcing candidates via FB crossing the line into personal territory?
3. Why do you think candidates might have FB but not LI?
4. How do you make contact with candidates you’ve sourced from FB?
