China Turns to Social Media to Recruit Staff

Chinese employers are increasingly turning to social media to recruit staff as they struggle to find the right talent. Such a move may give the upper hand to expats, many of whom are already familiar with social media tools such as LinkedIn as a recruitment tool among Western companies. Interestingly, the driving force isn't coming from the head offices of multinationals but their Chinese operations, who complain about not being able to find the right candidates, especially among foreign workers.
