Yet while 89% of recruiters have hired someone through LinkedIn and 26% through Facebook, only 15% have through Twitter. Why is that, you may ask?

A majority of job seekers currently think that companies are ineffective at using Twitter for recruiting.<\/p>\n<p>However, while Facebook unsurprisingly remains the most popular social media site, <strong>the number of Twitter users grows rapidly<\/strong> across a variety of demographic groups which is valuable information for companies and recruiters looking to hire.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-672\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PI_2015-01-09_social-media_01.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PI_2015-01-09_social-media_01.png\" alt=\"Figures from Pew Research Center\" width=\"420\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PI_2015-01-09_social-media_01.png 420w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PI_2015-01-09_social-media_01-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PI_2015-01-09_social-media_01-298x300.png 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figures from Pew Research Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Options for Twitter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Such insights make us wonder if Twitter will soon move to the next step and launch its own traditional job board or aggregator.
