Between Google+ and every other social network created this year, the choices have expanded dramatically for businesses to be able to communicate with their customers and clients. Email is still valid and probably will be for a while despite challenges facing the medium, but social media is the one that’s on the rise.

We can assume that most businesses should focus their efforts on the big 5 – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and blogs – and as a result this infographic below by our friends at SocialCast does a nice job of breaking it down for us. Click to enlarge.

Perhaps the only thing in business more painful than looking for a job is finding someone to fill a position. Getting hired is hard, but hiring can be even worse. It’s normally easier for an applicant to know what they’re getting into when applying for a job than for the business to know what they’re getting when looking at people.

Social media can help.

The infographic design below by our friends at MindFlash gives us some helpful information on using social media to reach out and add people to your company. While it’s not necessarily a replacement for help wanted ads (yet), it’s still a very effective way to make the process easier.
