She didn’t actually grill me. But Stephanie Lloyd did ask the appropriate questions to uncover some of my methods for social recruiting on Twitter. In an interview posted yesterday on her blog, Radiant Veracity, we discuss some techniques that are helpful to both recruiters and job seekers.
I have been networking with Stephanie for a while on Twitter and other networks. She is a sharp recruiting pro, and a great (prolific!) writer. She has recently rebranded her business, something that I plan to cover in a post here in the near future.
Thanks to Stephanie for inviting me to participate in her series on how recruiters use Twitter for recruiting.

Today as part of an ongoing series I had the opportunity to ask my friend Craig Fisher how he uses Twitter in his recruiting efforts.
Craig Fisher
Craig, Co-Founder of A-List Solutions and a veteran sales leader in the staffing and recruiting industry, was gracious enough to allow me to spend some time grilling interviewing him about how he uses Twitter as an integral part of his recruiting practice.
How do you use Twitter in your recruiting efforts?
I use Twitter in multiple ways for recruiting. I use my personal Twitter account, @Fishdogs, to follow and network with prospective candidates and clients.
I post things that would be interesting to job seekers and employers/recruiters, and I have discussions, take polls, listen, and assist those in need; all on Twitter. I also do these things to a lesser extent from my corporate Twitter presence.
But, Twitter doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
I refer my Twitter network to my LinkedIn and Facebook groups, my blog, company blog, job orders, etc. – and I have lots of phone conversations with my network, as well. All of these activities combine the brand Craig Fisher as a helpful expert in my field and my company as a go-to resource for staffing services and social recruitment training.
