Sodexo was recognized for its creative use of social media to build interactive talent communities where we can share information on our company, employees, values, culture and opportunities, providing candidates with a glimpse of what it would be like to work in our company. Our approaches have also enhanced the ability of our candidates to be able to communicate in a meaningful way with our recruiters and our employees, so as to better understand their career potential with Sodexo.

“Sodexo’s program is an impressive example of the successful and innovative use of new tools, technologies, solutions and practices to enhance communications and relationships,” commented Jen McClure, founder and president of the Society.
