- Median number of network connections per recruiter are 616 for LinkedIn, 245 for Facebook & 37 for Twitter
- Average number of connections added per week by network are 18.5 for LinkedIn, 3.1 for Twitter & 1.5 for Facebook
- It will take less time for recruiters to double their network size on Twitter (2.7 mos) & LinkedIn (7.6 mos) than Facebook (33.9 mos.)
The reports authors and I both believe we will see an increase in use of Facebook and Twitter over time, but it may be a bit slower for conservative healthcare leaders. So, for now invest your time in LinkedIn.
