Sometimes simple is best, less is more!!!!!
Within HR, staffing and business in general, there is a huge push towards metrics, and process. Everyone wants to ensure they have a process, and it can be measured. These things are very important, however we need to ensure we look at them and incorporate them for the right reasons, and looking for the right things. So let’s start with process, of course you need a process by which you work. However less is more when it comes to process. Just because you think the process has 100 steps does not mean it has to. This is where process improvement and lean comes in. When thinking of the process “less is more”, “simple is best”. Do not go into this thinking the more steps you have, he bigger the better. The reality is, it is the opposite. Try to make the process as simple, as possible. This will ensure you are not wasting time, and can not only perform at a high level but do so quickly. This may mean doing some lean process improvement and finding and deleting the redundancies and wasted steps. Now on to metrics, how we measure how the process is working, how our employees perform and more. This is another example of less is more, and simple is best. I mean do we really need to know how many calls our recruiters make in the last 10 minutes of a work day on Friday. Really? No of course not. Be sure whatever metrics you use are relevant, and important. Whatever you do try not to over complicate it by having to many metrics, having metrics that really do not matter or worse require too much time on the part of the recruiter or HR person to provide the needed info. Remember less is more, simple is best.

Part 5
This will be the 5th and final in the series of posts about Social media architecture. In part one we went over the why, we talked about branding and about seeing what is being said out there about you. In part 2 we discussed the different sites. In part 3 we discussed tools and more. In part 4 we selected sites and tools. Now it’s time to put it all together First get your profiles in the selected sites up, complete and running ( see previous post on “A Prelude to Social Media Architecture/Framework!” Get your name in Zoominfo, Jigsaw and any other like site. (Helper sites) Download and get up and running Tweetdeck and Yoono.(monitor tools) Download and get up and running either Tweetadder or Socialoomph. Ensure your thank you for connecting reply also asks them to connect with you on Linkedin and includes your linkedin url.(Combined-inscreaser-responder Tool) Get an account with Twitterfeed, Pingfm or Dlvrit.(deliverer tool) Get your twitter account on the toplisted, topfollowed lists (this can be done by searching for both on a search engine and following the directions. (Helper sites) Create blog and find RSS feeds of consistently updated information relevant to you and your brand. Social Sites(a) – monitor sites(b) – responding and finding(c)- blog and RSS feeds & Deliver content(d) So social sites set up and running –CHECK Monitoring sites tools set up and running- CHECK Blog up and running- CHECK RSS Feeds selects- Check Now for the last step- set up the RSS feeds you have selected and your blogs RSS feed and use your selected deliverer tool to deliver your constant and automatic messages to your social sites. I typically have all the RSS feeds go to my twitter and then send my twitter feed to all other social sites. Makes it easier, cleaner and organized. There you have it; you sites set up and running(a), your monitoring them(b), your responding and looking for connections and followers(c), and your message going out(d). That’s it, once it is set up and running the only real updating you need to do is your own blog the rest is automatic. Now of course you might add or delete RSS feeds, add social sites, and update your blog but that is about it and falls under intermittent maintenance. Once the architecture/ framework is built and running the rest is easy. Social Media Architecture!!!!!! Part 4
This will be the 4th in a series of posts about Social media architecture. In part one we went over the why, we talked about branding and about seeing what is being said out there about you. In part 2 we discussed the different sites. In part 3 we discussed tools and more. Now it’s time to pick the sites and the tools to use. So for the purposes of this we are going to discuss what sites you should join and be involved with as a minimum, to get started, there are plenty of others as previously stated. When choosing a social media sight ensure it is ones that are applicable to your brand or are general enough to touch your brand. Facebook-Too many people on it not to be part, this includes the 2 spin off site BeKnown, and Branchout. Ensure to keep it professional and in keeping with your chosen brand. LinkedIn- a now brainer Myspace –Like facebook just too many people on it, also like facebook keep it professional and in keeping with your brand Twitter- A must to spread your word. On to blogs. Blogging is a must for your social brand. It is the easiest way to spread your message and with the use of feeds have others help to spread it too. Make sure your message is professional and in keeping with your brand. You can use Blogger or anyone of a number of blogging sites and tools. Tools: As you read in my previous blog there are many types tools. Below are the ones I suggest and what they do. Tweetdeck or Yoono- both allow you to monitor multiple social sites and post (monitors). Socialoomph or Tweetadder – both work with twitter, both allow you to send a thank you message to those who follow you. Both have stats and both allow you to schedule posts. Tweetadder will also increase your following through targeted research and will unfollow those who do not follow back (Combined-responders, SEO, increasers). Twitterfeed, Pingfm or Dlvrit-All allow for RSS feeds to be automatically feed to your social media sites (deliverers). Zoominfo and JIgsaw- this will ensure people who want to look you up can find you (helper sites). Toplisted, Topfollowed- these will get you to the top of the biggest twitter lists out there (helper sites). In part 5 we bring it all together |
