Thank you very to much to all my Social Media Colleagues, Connections, Followers for replying to the question | What kind of boss would you like to work for?. Herewith below some of the responses I received

I like a strict boss, I feel a strict boss keeps you on your toes. Astrict boss to me is someone who ensures that the work gets done. Sometimes they use methods that might seem harsh but it’s the work hard now and relax later.

Khulekani Christian‏ @KhulekaniMj

Someone who allows me to explore my #creativity in completing my daily tasks. One who understands that #productivity is met when employees feel comfortable in the workplace. A #leader who’s always seeking innovative ways of doing business. #JobAdviceSA

Little emphasis is placed on vetting a new boss when seeking a new role. Having a mismatch in expectations can be a major set back in your career! Find someone that sharpens your skills! It is a great gift to have a mentor that happens to be your boss. #JobAdviceSA @JobAdviceSA

Amanda seerane‏ @Amandaseerane

A boss that is open-minded and who’s eager to open doors for his/her employees to be part of any learning opportunities

Masana‏ @masanamaqabe

One that allows me: *freedom to work independently when necessary *has empathy and compassion *is transparent *encourages and promotes personal growth *is a leader *maintains professionalism *has a sense of humour *understands and knows diversity

Ruramayi‏ @auqmy

I would like to work for a boss who actually cares about what they do. Who is interested in creating value and growth and importantly the brand of the entity should matter, such a boss potentially might not see employees as dispensable but valuable, quality matters to such a boss. I know if all of these things matter to my boss, I will be happy as to grow the company they have to further develop and take care of their employees. A well taken care of skilled employee is great ammunition to have in your arsenal. At least I would like to believe so.

The kind of boss that looks after their employees, the kind that puts effort and training in to each individual, the kind that creates a positive and effective culture in the work place.

Finding Hidden Candidates Online – Carin Lightstone

Capture

Wesley Madziva aka #WesleySocial is a Social Media maverick. His dynamic speaking style enlivened the room, causing even belly-full recruiters at KR’s Electronic Recruitment Conference to perk up and listen as he shared his unique methods for finding candidates who would otherwise remain hidden through social media. As he speaks, he “retweets” quotes from conference participants and other speakers, mimicking the online interactive style of social media marketers.

Often, LinkedIn account holders intentionally hide their profiles from recruiters by misspelling their job titles. Wesley finds them using misspellings: A search for “acountant” rather than “accountant” yields profiles that recruiters using traditional search methods would miss.
Instead of searching for candidates by job title or skill, he searches exactly what they do [e.g bending schedules and drawings], unearthing candidates who might otherwise stayed buried.

He scours diverse social media platforms for his ideal candidates. He has found candidates who are unaware that they have Google Plus accounts, through their Gmail Accounts. All the candidate needs to have entered is a name, and what it is that they do. [By the way: If you have a gmail account, you have a Google Plus account.] He has found candidates using information they’ve entered into the “hometown” and “professional skills” fields on Facebook. He even finds candidates through photo sharing platform Instagram.

Tools such as Followerwonk, Recruitin.net, Socialtalent.co and Intel-sw.com enable him to search social platforms, but his favourite search tool for doing so remains Google. The functions of this powerful search engine are free to use, and Boolean search strings can be used to make Google searches highly specific.

For example, “site:za.LinkedIn.com” specifies that Google should search LinkedIn only.“Intitle:accountant” specifies that only this title should be searched for within the site. The minus symbol specifies which terms to exclude, e.g. “-Trainee”. He boasts that Google enables him to circumvent the need for paid tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter.
