Ah, Facebook jobs – how they’ve made a splash into the landscape of social recruiting. With over 2 billion users on Facebook alone, utilizing this platform effectively and efficiently should be top priority when it comes to your social strategy.

Facebook jobs have made applying to jobs quick and easy. Essentially, a Facebook user’s profile now becomes their resume; the platform scrapes the information listed on their profile when applying to your job. Not only does this make it a one-two click, but the application is completely mobile-friendly, making it more accessible to the 58% of job seekers that search on mobile.

Let’s get to the basics. How do you post a job on Facebook?

On your feed, select Create > Job.

List the Job Details

Bonus: In your description, at the top – add a link back to your job board. This allows your users two options of how they’d like to apply: your job board or Facebook.
