The Social Media in Recruitment event will feature a range of speakers covering all areas of social media to ensure people know their Twitter from their Facebook and the ways in which each medium may be able to benefit their organisation.

Held at the British Library Conference Centre in London on April 22nd, it is the UK's second Social Media in Recruitment Conference, reports Recruitment Times.

The subject areas to be covered at the conference include strategies for using LinkedIn, insights from Google, advice on how to maximise the use of Facebook pages and how to use Twitter effectively.

Almost four in ten employers plan to develop their social media presence in 2010, according to a poll by careerbuilder.com.
