I have seen lots of organizations fail or still struggle during the transition from the traditional sourcing channels to social recruitment initiatives. Why and how this happened? Are there any possible solutions?
CareerXroads 8th Annual Source of Hire Study
CareerXroads’ (CXR) 8th Annual Source of Hire (SOH) study was published in Feb, 2009, which provided a detailed description about how one group of corporations fills their open positions (in the US/North America). Or, more accurately, how corporate staffing functions measure and report sources of hires for the openings they fill. Even the data were collected only for US/North America, but I believe it's also a strong reference for China.
Geo Expansion and Recruitment Strategy
I believe every IT multinational company who aims to expand its business to remote locations will encounter hiring problems. The issue statement is quite simple: talent shortage. According to the remote location talent market research reports conducted by my team, there is a quite limited talent pool in 2nd/3rd tier cities. Recruitment team found hiring difficulties in sourcing, attracting qualified candidates with required skill-sets.
Build a Successful Employee Referral Program
Employee referral is an internal recruitment method employed by organisations to identify potential candidates from their existing employees social networks. An employee referral scheme encourages a company's existing employees to select and recruit the suitable candidates from their social networks. As a reward, the employer typically pays the referring employee a referral bonus. Recruiting candidates using employee referral is widely acknowledged as being the most cost effective and efficient recruitment method to recruit candidates and as such, employers of all sizes, across all industries are trying to increases the volumes they recruit through this channel.

No matter what kinds of sourcing channels you are currently using, the final destination should be your company's recruitment website.
