Case study title: HRM Case Study: Social Media in Recruitment for General Mills.
CLO2: Propose solutions to issues pertaining to Human Resource Management in organizational industries. (A5, PLO4)
Think about your own circle of influence, your friends, and family. Most, if not all, probably have at least one social media profile, right? Some may have two, three or a dozen. This is the day and age in which we live. People connect with friends, favorite brands, celebrities, and sports heroes through the use of social media. So, it stands to reason, if you're a business wanting to connect with potential employees, social media should be a likely destination.
For General Mills, their foray into social media started with the realization that they were having difficulty connecting with millennial jobseekers, those people entering the job market who were born primarily in the 1980s and 1990s. As the company started looking at its e-recruiting, or internet-based recruiting practices, they discovered that this generation not only lives on social media as a whole but
expects to be able to interact with brands in terms of employment on channels.
With 38,000 employees sprinkled around the world, General Mills is no stranger to recruiting and hiring workers. You may know General Mills as one of the world's biggest food companies, producing brands that might be on your pantry shelves: Betty Crocker, Cheerios, Old El Paso, and Pillsbury.
That's when the company decided to fully commit to recruiting through various social media platforms. And, they approached each platform in a unique way, understanding that different types of people use different social media platforms for different purposes.
