3 tips to woo candidates with social recruiting
Ok, so let’s talk about how to woo your candidates through social recruiting.
Tip #1: Distribute your jobs to social media
First, you need to put yourself your jobs out there in order to attract top talent. Depending on the industry you are hiring for you should consider distributing jobs to Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and/or Instagram… or all of them!
According to a recent CareerArc survey, 86% of all job seekers use social media in their job search. Candidates are looking for you. Are you putting your jobs where they are?
Tip #2: Boost your recruiting reach using your employee networks
Dating Recruiting should be personal, right? That’s why you need to get your recruiters and larger employee base to post jobs too! And, the network effect of social media allows you to reach a far wider audience than you might have thought possible.
According to a survey by MSL Group, content that is shared by employees receives 8x more engagement than content shared by brand channels.
Tip #3: Make your posts attention-grabbing
Finally, stand out! Get your candidates to swipe left apply to your jobs with:
