Sure, you can post all of your jobs to your Facebook and LinkedIn pages, but is that really effective?
Your content and online audience are an asset to your company, and should be treated as one. This week in our Lunch with Haley webinar, we will be discussing the science of social media and how to use data and insights to make better marketing decisions.
Here is a short rundown of how you should be using social networking sites as a staffing owner.
Social Network Purpose
Provide great content that helps answer your clients’ and candidates’ questions. Ask your sales team what questions they receive on a regular basis. Create social content that helps answer those questions.
Facebook: Show the personality of your brand. Tell your story and share your company culture. Your audience wants to trust the people behind the logo.
Twitter: Twitter is a conversation. Connect with clients, candidates, and potential leads. Interact with them. Offer questions, and provide answers. Answer questions with your content.
LinkedIn: This audience is on LinkedIn strictly for business purposes. Provide content that you would provide during a business interaction. Share hot jobs, whitepapers, case studies, and presentations.
Types of posts that perform well:
This particular client creates a “Hot Job” video each week. They record a team member describing the job opportunity and what they are looking for.
As you can see, the visual posts reach a much larger audience. The visual posts also increase engagement, meaning more people are clicking on them and commenting.
