Mashable offers fours ways that social media can help human resources professionals do their jobs better:

Resources at your fingertips
Social media expands your networks and allows you to find potential hires.
Balancing productivity and value
Have a concrete mission or measurable goals for social media use.
Reevaluating corporate values
Social media can allow HR pros to find business solutions faster. At the same time, customers will demand faster responses.
Supporting innovation
In order to reach goals, organizations must realize “individuals must be encouraged and rewarded for using non-traditional thinking,” according to Mashable.
