The recruiting blog results from the first weekly poll are in.

The question: What is the biggest challenge in using social media to source candidates?

The results:

• Internal push back (45%)
• Lack of time (29%)
• Fear with loss of control (17%)
• Don’t know how to use tools (9%)

I wasn’t surprised that internal push back topped the list. Kudos to those that have been able to influence stakeholders internally and sell the risk/reward balance. Here is a post on the corporate adoption of social media for recruiting and retention.
