Will social recruiting start to generate a new range of Job Titles?
It seems that social media and social recruiting, are now quickly starting to become adopted in the mainstream of corporate life. With this adoption, comes the need for companies to put 'labels' on these new jobs. So my guess is that a whole new range of 'creative' job titles will start to appear on websites and job boards over the next 6-12 months.
So, I have taken a guess at some new job titles that could well be being recruited for over the next year ahead. Some are already present (albeit with different interpretations), but many new titles will appear - although I am not sure that Peter Gold's will be too common - Web 2.0 Social Media Talent Community Recruitment Manager!!
So here are my ideas of some of the job titles that will be appearing on websites and job boards soon:
Social Talent Manager
someone responsible for creating and managing the talent pipeline through the social media channels.
Social Media Manager
someone responsible for managing the social media activity within an organisation.
Listening Manager
Someone responsible for monitoring what is being said about company/brand/services on different channels, and differentiates the positive and negative influencer's.
Social Recruiting Manager
someone responsible for recruiting candidates via different and relevant social media channels.
Community Manager
someone who monitors and responds to discussion within relevant communities and engages with the people in that community.
Social Candidate Marketing Manager
someone who uses the social media tools as their primary marketing channel.
Online Brand Reputation Manager
someone who makes use of online tools to monitor and track the brand reputation online, engaging with detractors and influencer's to maintain the reputation.
Recruitment Blogger
someone creates, writes and manages the company/corporate blog environment, with the aim of attracting and engaging with prospective new candidates.
Digital Facilitator
someone who engages with the online world, developing conversations around the products and services that are relevant to the company
Digital Engagement Manager
Someone who is responsible for all customer engagement across the digital and social media channels.
Candidate Experience Manager
someone responsible for the full lifecycle of candidate interaction and engagement with a company with regards to recruitment.
Video Recruiting Manager
someone responsible for using online video channels such as YouTube, as direct recruiting channels.

Long list! Community Manager already exits, as does candidate experience manager - had one of those here already.
The key question for recruitment Andy will be just how many Recruitment firms start to adopt different titles and therefore a different approach. My guess is not many. Peter is actually on the money with the title - i think that absolutely the smart money is on recruitment consultants morphing into community managers.
Problem is half of them couldnt manage a community if their life depended on it and most recruitment businesses are not broad minded enough to see the need for the transition - blame the leaders.
I certainly see the corporate world adopting these more freely - and im hoping to see the candidate experience manager one appear soon as most are bloody apalling at that.

Gareth,
Now that is an interesting angle - recruitment consultants morphing into community managers!
The good ones are already, but the majority are still not even using LinkedIn properly so have little chance of crossing the divide!!
Wouldn’t it be great to see some of these appear for real?

Watch this space Andy!
