Social Media and the Staffing Company

The days when people communicated solely face-to-face officially ended within the last two weeks when my girlfriend's parents and my eighth grade teacher became my "friends" on Facebook.

I manage both Facebook and LinkedIn pages just to keep up with people these days. Although it can get exhausting becoming my own personal public relations representative, the two sites can be a great way to keep track of old friends.


Often times, Twitter gets lumped into that same discussion when people talk about social networking sites. But that is not the case.

While Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace allow people to share up-to-the-minute personal information, Twitter has evolved beyond that into a valuable business tool.

This is why Ryan Staffing has a Twitter account and not any of the other three.

Some of our readers may be sick of all our constant blog/Twitter promotions. But we really do believe these tools are as much a benefit to you as they are to us.

It's all about transparency. We get to tell you what we're up to and how we operate. And you get to see that before making a decision to use our service.

With the blog, we try to be fun and informative. And with Twitter we try to provide quick bits of valuable information.

So far, our Twitter as been a recruiting device. We post jobs there to reach a broader applicant audience. While we expand that, we are also trying to cater our Twitter to you, our current or potential clients.

We are not and will not use Twitter like athletes and celebrities have been. So that may not be as entertaining or absurd, but you should still consider following us on Twitter because it will be news you can use.

If that's not incentive enough, then how do USC vs. Ohio State football tickets sound as an incentive?

This month, we're giving away tickets to the state's biggest football college game!
