James Swift, director and founder of the firm, said that employers and job candidates are taking advantage of the services offered by sites like Twitter to speed up the advertising and filling of vacancies.
'If you've got a job that you want advertised on job boards or in the press, you have to wait – you have to get it copywritten and stuff – whereas you can actually post it onto Twitter straight away,' he said.
Mr Swift added that the practise is most commonly seen in the IT sector but that other companies are quickly catching on.
Reed.co.uk is capitalising on the trend and has launched a job share feature to promote vacancies through Twitter and LinkedIn, but jobseekers can find jobs in this way on their own.
'The candidates that are following that company [on Twitter] will find out about the role a lot quicker,' he explained.
