    Hiring or Firing are the two important steps which a company or an organisation take in-order to increase the efficiency of the work. But the increasing influence of social media is changing these processes. A lot has been written about the inefficiency injected into the company due to the social media. But we must not forget the value addition of social media to a business.

    Currently, everyone can express themselves to the world through online social platform like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Blogs. Because of this, people are either getting FIRED or HIRED in a company. Its an interesting phenomenon occurring in today’s global society.

    A research on human psychology has found out that maximum number of people’s online profile matches with that of their real profile, offline. This is a great finding which means that companies can trust on the online profile to judge a person. Therefore, a new way of HR sector is emerging where people are hired through Online search.

    In today’s culture, Job will find the right person rather then a person finding a job. One of the fundamentals of Hiring is efficient people search. You want to get the right person for the right job. Buzzom is working on those lines to bring the efficient people search to the users, so that one can find the right person they are looking for.

    Currently, Buzzom search allows you to search people in Twitter via their bio, location, names and tweets. Name and location search might be less important than the bio search in case of job. Entering a proper keywords in the search will immediately give you the person whose profile matches to your search query.

    Here is a little demonstration of the buzzom’s people search :

    Search for Java programmers and in an instant you will get a list of people related to java programmers. Now you are interested in them, the step would be follow them and start a conversation. If you find them right for the job and take the next step. This could be a time consuming process, but the current structure of social media encourages people to communicate rather than measure them.
