\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What Is Social Media Recruiting?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Social media recruiting is a recruitment strategy that combines elements of employer branding and recruitment marketing to connect with and attract active and passive candidates on the digital platforms they frequent. Some statistics:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

  • <\/i>73% of millennials found their last job on a social network.<\/span><\/li>
  • <\/i>82% of companies attract passive candidates by recruiting through social media and they reported a 50% increase in the quality of candidates.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

    Reasons You Should Be Using the Social Media as Part of Your Recruitment Marketing<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

    We believe that you should be using social media to help in your recruitment for the following reasons.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Speed Up Your Recruitment Marketing Efforts<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

    Social media can reach skilled candidates in seconds.<\/p>

    Traditional mediums like billboards, newspapers, and events don\u2019t offer the same immediacy or scalability that social media does. They also don\u2019t provide built-in tracking that focuses on the data you\u2019re most interested in, like page views, engagement, and followers.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tailor Your Recruiting Efforts<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

    Social media platforms provide myriad options for reaching specific groups of people, allowing you to target the candidates most suited for your roles. Narrowing the applicant pool early in the recruiting process will let you spend more time focusing on the best applicants.<\/p>

    Each platform has its audience and culture, providing you with the opportunity to get granular and take the right message to the right people at the right time.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Promote your employer’s brand<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

    69% of job seekers say that a company\u2019s reputation is a critical factor when considering a new job. Social media is an excellent resource to promote your employer brand to potential employees who may not be looking at your job descriptions. Here are some areas to consider when creating social content:<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    • <\/i>Relay the day-to-day life at your company<\/span><\/li>
    • <\/i>Describe your company culture<\/span><\/li>
    • <\/i>Highlight the perks and benefits<\/span><\/li>
    • <\/i>Create employee spotlights<\/span><\/li>
    • <\/i>Advertise recruitment events<\/span><\/li>
    • <\/i>Publish job openings<\/span><\/li>
    • <\/i>Perform Q and A forums and seminars<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Increasing Your Reach<\/h3>

      \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

      • Social media recruiting can help you:<\/span><\/li>
      • <\/i>Reach passive candidates who aren\u2019t currently looking for a job and may never have heard of your company.<\/span><\/li>
      • <\/i>Personalize communications efforts by reaching out to individuals on social media via direct messaging or comments<\/span><\/li>
      • <\/i>Target niche personas\/industry experts with paid advertising opportunities on different social platforms.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

        \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

        Get To Know the Candidates Beyond their Resumes<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

        The traditional resume may be great at summarizing a candidate\u2019s professional background, but it offers little insight into who they are as a person. Social media recruiting allows you to develop a more comprehensive understanding of candidates, including their personalities, interests, and mutual connections.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        LinkedIn is the Main Social Media Recruitment for Bulgaria<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

        Percentage of Companies Use LinkedIn for Recruitment: 96%<\/p>

        LinkedIn also offers an Advanced People Search. This tool offers search capabilities that are highly useful for recruiters. Many of these search features are free. However, some require a LinkedIn premium account.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        Facebook Recruitment<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

        Percentage of Companies Use Facebook for Recruitment: 66%<\/p>

        Facebook may not be a dedicated professional network like LinkedIn, but its size makes it an indispensable resource for recruiters. It can shed some light on an individual\u2019s personality away from work, and it provides countless ways to find and connect with candidates. It even offers a job board.<\/p>

        Facebook\u2019s Graph Search allows you to search various variables of a user\u2019s profile, including location, interests, and areas of study.<\/p>

        \u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        Instagram Recruitment<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

        Percentage of Companies Use Instagram for Recruitment: 7%<\/p>

        Twitter Recruitment<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

        Percentage of Companies Use Twitter for Recruitment: 53%<\/p>
