TweetMyJobs.com : Followup
OK, I posted 5 jobs on TweetMyjobs.com, selected at random from my current top jobs. According to their stats, I recieved the following clicks…
- Senior Manager of Health Economics (50 view, 59 clickthroughs)
- GLOBAL Regulatory Affairs Director (2/3)
- Associate Medical Director (56/59)
- Marketing Project Manager (58/56)
- CRA – Scotland (6/0)
Posting the jobs in the first place, was a manual process, and I found no way of automatically posting them through an API, so long term its not particularly viable.
When you post your job (through the very clunky interface), you select a preferred channel. They then push the job out to an appropriate twitter account. They have ”5000″ channels. However., many of these “channels” have only a handful of followers, and you know as well as I do that a good proportion of these will be “twitiots” who are spam or will follow anything in the hope they get their own followers up. You can re-weet too (for a cost), but its not automatic, so you’d need to log back in and re-weet (as I did) .
Overall I’m not that impressed with the experience. I certainly won’t be paying for it. Having said that, I think it’s early days for Twitter recruitment, and I think that it has some way to go before people look at it as a useful way of finding jobs. I dont think any of the people that clicked on the twitter posts actually applied for a job, so quite franky I have better ways to be spending my day.
Unless you’ve had a better experience….
