How to Use Twitter to Find Artificial Intelligence Specialist Candidates

Introduction

In 2018, LinkedIn was the most popular social media platform among employers recruiting candidates. However, if you are trying to hire an AI specialist like a data scientist or software engineer, Twitter may be a better fit for your recruiting strategy. Twitter has a reputation as a place where people share their opinions, but it is also where they share information and stories about their work and career aspirations. By following best practices for recruiting on Twitter, you can find the right candidates for your open positions faster than you might on another social media platform.

Build a List of Twitter Accounts

Twitter lists are a great way to keep track of people you want to follow. They're easy to create and organize, so you can quickly find the people you want to read in one place.

Let's say that you're looking for candidates in the AI field who have experience working with deep learning libraries like TensorFlow or Caffe2. You can search Twitter using keywords related to your job title (e.g., machine learning engineer) and filter out candidates by location and language skills needed for the role (e.g., English). After finding some potential candidates, create a list of those users so they'll be easier to access later on when you're ready for them!

If your organization already has an existing list of followers who work at companies where their employees might be interested in employment opportunities elsewhere (for example recruiting company), it may make sense for them too as an additional source of candidate leads relative only to specific types of roles available within given organizations - but without necessarily having any personal interest themselves like friends/family members do regarding such opportunities.

Search by Words and Hashtags to Find Relevant Conversations

In order to find relevant conversations on Twitter, you will want to search by words and hashtags. On the top of every page on Twitter, there is a search bar that allows you to type in a word or phrase. In this example, we will be searching for “artificial intelligence” since that is one of the most popular topics right now in this industry.

There are also advanced features available on Twitter if you click on the small arrow next to “Search” at the bottom left corner of your screen (no more than two lines above). This will take you into an advanced search menu where you can filter out specific results based on location, gender, age, and other factors related to who might fit your company's needs best as well as what hashtags they're using when tweeting about AI topics - making them easier for recruiters like yourself!

Search for Posts About AI With Twitter's Advanced Search Feature

You can also use Twitter's advanced search feature to find people who are interested in AI, such as those who have posted a tweet containing the term "artificial intelligence" or "machine learning". Use Boolean operators like -OR- and * to combine key terms and phrases. For example, if you're looking for candidates who are interested in all of these topics, try searching for tweets that include both terms: (artificial intelligence OR machine learning) AND (artificial intelligence OR machine learning).

Join in the Conversation on Twitter

To find the best candidates on Twitter, you'll want to join in the conversation. Learn about the latest trends, share content from other sources, and engage with others who are interested in your field. This can help you identify potential employees who are also active on Twitter.

• Responding to others: When someone responds to one of your tweets or retweets something that you've posted, respond back! You can use this as an opportunity for networking by introducing yourself and asking questions about their career.
• Providing content: Share quality content such as articles or videos related to your industry or company culture. This can encourage others who may be searching for jobs within those fields of work (and thus increase the number of people who see your job postings).
• Providing links: Provide links back to your job postings on either sites like LinkedIn or directly through your company website so that candidates aren't confused about where they should apply if they're interested in working with you.

Measure the ROI of Your Talent Acquisition on Twitter by Tracking Clicks and Engagement

• You can measure the ROI of your talent acquisition on Twitter by tracking clicks, shares, and engagement.
• To track clicks, use a tool like Google Analytics to track how many people clicked on the link to your career page or job post.
• To track shares and retweet counts, you can use a tool like Buffer or Hootsuite (which integrates with Buffer) to monitor how many times each tweet is shared or retweeted. Alternatively, you could use a free alternative like TweetStats that will give you this data for free!
• In addition to tracking these metrics as they relate to social media posts about open positions at your company or agency/consultancy firm's career pages, it's also important for recruiters and hiring managers alike who are responsible for posting jobs on Twitter as well as those who manage their employer brand through social media channels appropriately respond directly when users reply directly with questions about specific job postings.

Conclusion

Candidates can be found in an AI niche. You can leverage Twitter to find passive candidates who are discussing artificial intelligence and join the conversation. This gives you an opportunity to engage with them on topics in your field, then invite them to have a conversation about the possibility of joining your team. These strategies can help you build a pipeline of talent for the future so that when opportunities arise for you to hire, you’re ready with a list of qualified candidates who already know about your organization and may be interested in working there.
