Introduction
Recruitment
In terms of internal recruitment strategies, Twitter uses electronic record systems and
an intranet. The company is able to maintain data for potential employers and enable
recruiters to find qualifications that suit the job requirements (Neal & Rhoades, 2017). The
intranet is used to communicate with present employees and advertise job vacancies within
the company. The systems offer room for referrals which in turn give valuable information
for candidates with high quality for the advertised job opportunity (Stone & Dulebohn, 2013).
Social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Twitter are also utilized to reach many people.
Hence, the use of electronic record systems and intranet has helped in attracting highly
qualified individuals and improving the efficiency of the Twitter company.
Career Management
Performance Management
Digital innovation is also used in the Twitter company. Employees are tracked
through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The metrics help managers to identify areas of
competencies and incompetence of the employees. It is through this approach that
reinforcement and motivation are done to employees for improvement (Ferreira & Otley,
2009). In addition, performance reviews are conducted to gauge the performance of
employees. Regular reviews are done in relationship with the set goals and objectives. The
managers are able to give feedback and help employees to improve in their positions of work.
Compensation Management
Compensation refers to what workers receive in exchange for their labor. It includes
payment and other accrued benefits such as bonuses and allowances among others (GOEL,
2012). Twitter company has various compensation management strategies for employees. It
offers a competitive base pay. Twitter offers competitive payments to workers and helps the
company to attract top talent in their organization (GOEL, 2012). Research on competitive
markets is done to ensure payments are fair and comparable to their similar competitors.
Twitter also offers bonuses to employees. The bonuses are offered based on the individual or
team output of the company.
The Twitter company offers benefits and perks to its employees. Employees on
Twitter company enjoy the benefits of retirement, free meals, health insurance, and fitness
services among others (Salisu et al., 2015). Employees on Twitter company enjoy non-
financial benefits. These benefits include recognition, performance feedback, advancements,
and responsibility. In addition, environmental benefits such as a safe and healthy work
environment, open communication, opportunities for learning and development, and career
security are also offered to employees.
Another strategy for compensation management used by the Twitter company is pay
transparency. The company is open to how it determines compensation for employees
(Nellore, 2018). In addition to that, payments and rewards are done in a timely manner. These
compensation strategies help in improving the performance of workers. The merits of
employees are also motivated. However, some critics argue that Twitter needs to address the
issue of pay equity. In addition, some workers claim that bonuses and benefits are
unpredictable and can lead to dissatisfaction of workers.
Conclusion
In terms of recruitment and career management strategies, I agree with the current
Human Resource (HR) activities used in the organization. The current strategies used for
recruitment have attracted many candidates for different job opportunities. The higher the
number of candidates the higher the competition and hence the quality of employees selected.
Current career management strategies have given employees diverse opportunities to add
skills and climb the job ladder. In turn, innovation and creativity are encouraged.
Furthermore, quality skills are retained through motivation and retention of employees.
