Quick Tips for Better Social Recruiting
Mandy Wittschen · Jan 26, 2021
Quick Tips for Social Recruiting
You hear people talking about it all over the staffing industry, but what does it really mean?
Is it posting jobs to Facebook?
Having LinkedIn job slots?
Getting your team to share your jobs on Twitter?
Social is this…and A LOT more.
So what exactly is Social Recruiting?
According to SmartRecruiters, “the term social recruiting was coined in 2008 and is defined as leveraging social media sites and software in order to recruit and hire people.”
Social recruiting is NOT just posting jobs to social media. It is about using social touch points (online and even in the real world) to attract and recruit active and passive job seekers.
The Key to Successful Social Recruiting
In a word, STRATEGY!
Social recruiting is about having a strategy to capture the attention of your ideal job candidates, getting people to engage with your company and getting them interested in your jobs (or how you can help them find a better job).
With passive job seekers, social recruiting is more about creating awareness and brand building than it is about jobs and applications. It’s about connecting with people, getting them to see your company (and you recruiters) as a trusted resource, and THEN getting these people to think about new or better jobs.
With active job seekers, social recruiting is more about job advertising. It’s getting these people to find your jobs, see your organization as one they want to work with, and then getting them to apply or contact you to learn more about the jobs you offer.

Crush Social in 2017 (part 3): 5 Powerful Ways to Use Social Media in Recruiting
Brad Bialy · Feb 28, 2017
As an industry, we are getting MUCH better about content and social marketing. Staffing firms are offering better advice for employers and job seekers, creating more compelling imagery and sharing more consistently.
But a lot of firms still struggle. They don’t have the time (or desire) to consistently produce and share content. They don’t have the tools to simplify the process of social marketing. And with all the new platforms, changes to social media algorithms and advertising opportunities, they’re not sure where to invest time and money to generate the highest returns.
Which is exactly why I’m writing this post!
Today, I’m continuing my blog series that walks you through the biggest trends in social…and shows you what you need to be doing to maximize your social marketing and social recruiting ROI.

What Are the Best Ways to Use Social Media for Recruiting in 2017?
