Yes! Yes! Yes!
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets, as defined by Wikipedia.
Employers and Job Searching Sites (CareerBuilder) post positions on Twitter constantly. As a Recruiter you must have a presence on Twitter. Tweet your jobs and job requirements. Post interesting things that will make people want to follow you. Post helpful job searching tips, resume tips, etc.
A great website to use for posting positions on Twitter (on top of your tweets!) is TwitJobSearch. Candidates can use this site or just use the search function on Twitter to search for jobs.
