Social media websites 'key tools for IT contractors'
IT contractors looking for work could increasingly find leads over social media websites following advice from a recruiting industry body.
Roger Tweedy, director of research for the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), has claimed that many younger workers use networks as their primary means of communication.
"It's imperative that the recruitment industry harnesses the opportunities it brings," he stated.
His comments follow the release of a new guide including statistics such as the fact that LinkedIn is now the most popular professional social network, with 2.5 million users in the UK.
Mr Tweedy states that the new REC guide will help IT contractors to find work, as it will make it easier for recruiters to tap into talent for clients working in non-traditional areas.
Earlier this month, Nixon McInnes managing director Will McInnes claimed that having a familiarity with social media could be a major advantage for IT contractors.
