(B2B only.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Supporting.<\/strong> Help customers support each other to solve each other\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Embracing.<\/strong> Integrate customers into the way a business works, including using their help to design products and improve processes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Managing.<\/strong> Empower employees and managers within an organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Social Impact.<\/strong> Improve society with non-commercial applications.<\/p>\n<p>Even apart from the social media component, this list strikes me as a pretty good anatomy of all the things a corporate Careers site needs to do.\u00a0 Just put \u201cvisitors\/prospects\/applicants\/candidates\u201d after each verb, and you would have a fine strategic outline.\u00a0 That is\u2014\u201cListening to visitors,\u201d \u201cEnergizing prospects,\u201d \u201cEmbracing candidates,\u201d \u201cManaging applicants,\u201d and so on.\u00a0 (Social Impact applies via messaging about corporate responsibility, green-ness, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>Now for proportionality.\u00a0 Groundswell helpfully offers mini-views of all the submissions, so we know how many submitters put themselves in each category.\u00a0 Just guess which Business-to-Consumer category had the most entrants by far . . . .<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right.\u00a0 TALKING.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of all the wisdom out there about listening, most companies are still focused on pushing the message.\u00a0 Business-to-Business was more evenly distributed\u2014but showed even less interest in Listening than the B2Cs.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the Groundswell breakout:<\/p>\n<p><a
