Every platform is different and populated in varying ways. LinkedIn, often referred to as the social bookmarking site for professionals, is great for posting job openings and connects with experience marketers. Other platforms, however, should not go unused:
– This could be a great opportunity for Instagram to be used in company culture and connect with younger professionals in marketing.
– Twitter can often be used in real-time engagement and industry news.
The new generation to the professional scene, TikTok remains full of potential as an unorthodox channel through which to connect to the minds of Gen Z marketers.
Diversify according to each platform and make sure it speaks to the audience you want to capture.
The days of the old job adverts are long gone. Today, the candidate expects more. Share industry insights and trends and behind-the-scenes peeks into your company culture:
Show yourself to be a thought leader, and you will automatically attract the kind of candidates who think your company aligns with its values and vision.
Video is the king of all content across social media. Make sure you leverage it to the fullest.
Visual content does more than inflate engagement numbers-it gives potential candidates a better glimpse into what working for your company really feels like.
Social media is not a one-way street. It is not all broadcast-remember to engage meaningfully as well:
This helps your brand to become more relatable and thereby gain quick trust among applicants.
By using hashtags, you can increase the reach of your post. First, come up with the most relevant industry hashtags, develop branded ones for your recruitment activities, and chime in on the trending conversations when appropriate. However, avoid hashtagging much to the point where people even confuse it as being spammy.
Your social media presence should give the potential candidates a feeling of what it will be like to work for your company:
A great employer brand is a strong magnet for top marketing talent.
Instruct your employees to share their experiences through social media. The content generated by your users will be considered authentic and may even give your company the powerful social proof that you require for potential candidates.
As with any marketing, your social media recruitment strategy should also be data-driven. Monitor engagement, reach, and conversion rates of this through analytics tools. Monitor which types of contents perform well and make changes accordingly.
Just a reminder, comply with all applicable employment laws and guidelines of the platform to which you use. Always ensure discrimination will not be practiced in posting job ads. And also, recruit fairly and maintain a clean attitude towards your activity.
All things considered, social media offers an opportunity to tap into the best marketing talent. This can be done by creating fantastic content, establishing employer branding, or genuinely interacting with your audience. Then you will attract as much talent as you can stand and you will position your company as the employer of choice in marketing. Remember that consistency is key; therefore, be active and engaging on your chosen platforms to fully avail the power of social recruitment.
