    Abstract: Systems for using social media sites in recruiting activities. Potential candidates for job openings are considered using computer-implemented analysis of an online social referral graph and a rule base. Content from one or more social data sources is retrieved and analyzed to identify potential candidates for a job opening. The potential candidate's social data comprises information used as a reputation score pertaining to the potential candidate and as a reputation score pertaining to the potential candidate's social connections. An employee database is cross referenced to find a match between employees and any of the potential candidate's social connections.
