  • Sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ allow employers to get a glimpse of who you are outside the confines of a sum cover letter, or interview while they offer job seekers the opportunity to learn about companies they're interested in; connect with current and former employees; and hear about job openings instantaneously, among other things.
  • That's probably why half of all job seekers are active on social networking sites on a daily basis, and more than a third of all employers utilize these sites in their hiring process.

UK businesses lose £12 billion a year through poor customer experience

by Will Corry on May 13, 2013

According to the survey, half of UK consumers are taking their business elsewhere as a result of inadequate service - and of those, 92 percent have switched at least once or twice in the last year. 49 percent are put off from calling a business at all, for fear of being kept on hold or in a queue.
