on the \u2018gram or sharing a funny TikTok with friends. For savvy businesses, social media is also a crucial platform when it comes to their recruitment process and brand reputation. We\u2019re here to explain exactly why you should spend a little less time on those spreadsheets and a bit more time posting to Facebook \u2013 all in the name of work!\n<h2 id=\"what-is-social-media-recruitment\">What is social media recruitment?<\/h2>\nThese days, we\u2019re all very familiar with the process of browsing our feeds, or checking up on our latest messages. Social media recruiting involves businesses and recruiters harnessing popular social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok to find new talent and nurture the all-important <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/employer-branding\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">employer brand<\/a>.\n<h3 id=\"is-using-social-media-in-recruitment-common\">Is using social media in recruitment common?<\/h3>\nThese days, yes! At least for medium to larger-sized companies with dedicated individuals or teams for their social media presence and hiring. It can be fairly time-consuming if done well, hence the need for some individual attention, but a social media recruitment strategy can be really productive and cost-effective. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gaggleamp.com\/social-media-recruitment-statistics\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Data has shown<\/a> that 94% of professional recruiters utilise social media recruitment. To further improve this process, it&#8217;s worth <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/pre-employment-social-media-screening\/\">considering implementing pre-employment social media screening<\/a> to vet potential candidates effectively.\n<h3 id=\"are-social-media-sites-effective-in-reaching-job-seekers\">Are social media sites effective in reaching job seekers?<\/h3>\nIt certainly can be. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrmagazine.co.uk\/content\/features\/getting-social-media-recruitment-right\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to research<\/a> by the Aberdeen Group, 73% of 18 to 34 year olds found their last job through social media. A significant 79% of job applicants use social media to <a href=\"https:\/\/everyonesocial.com\/blog\/social-recruiting-statistics\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">search for roles<\/a>. And that\u2019s not counting the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/passive-candidate-email-template\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">potential reach<\/a> to passive candidates, who aren\u2019t actively seeking but may be curious about new opportunities. To engage these candidates effectively, it&#8217;s crucial to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/candidate-engagement-strategies\/\">develop strategies that improve your candidate engagement process.<\/a>\n<h2 id=\"why-should-businesses-use-social-media-recruiting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"woman sits at an art desk with a laptop, looking at her phone\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18430 aligncenter\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/bruce-mars-FWVMhUa_wbY-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px;\" width=\"2560\"\/>Why should businesses use social media recruiting?<\/h2>\nHere are just a few reasons why you should utilise social media to find your next great hire\u2026\n<h3 id=\"the-potential-of-a-huge-audience\">The potential of a huge audience<\/h3>\nIf used well, social media has a huge potential to exponentially boost your reach into corners of your community (or even the world!) that you\u2019ve never reached before. The key is in building a strong target audience through your social media channels \u2013 for example, if you have 3500 followers on Instagram, and you put up a post advertising a role, that\u2019s 3500 potential pairs of eyes that could see it. Plus, some of those people might know others who might be a great match for the role, and share it with them. It\u2019s worth a try, right? For more innovative ways to expand your talent pool, explore <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/talent-sourcing-strategies\/\">these creative talent sourcing strategies.<\/a>\n<h3 id=\"a-cost-effective-recruitment-method\">A cost-effective recruitment method<\/h3>\nFor the basics, such as putting up a post about job openings on your feed, social media recruiting can be completely free. That\u2019s a substantial amount of savings, especially when you consider that in Australia,<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/state-of-recruitment-report\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> it costs on average $5,380 to advertise an open role<\/a>. Learn<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-advertise-job-openings\/\"> how to advertise job openings and job ads effectively<\/a> to maximise your reach and fill positions quickly.\n\nIf you\u2019d like to reach a little further beyond your current audience, or are feeling ambitious, there\u2019s definitely room to put some money into promoting posts, or upping the production value of the content you post. However, many businesses find that they can get great results with very little costs incurred, which is always appealing.\n<h3 id=\"improved-brand-visibility\">Improved brand visibility<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s easy to get caught up in just filling a single role in your company, especially if you\u2019re a small business and you need that person like, right now. However, a big part of a social media recruitment strategy is in playing the long game. You might also want to consider some <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/5-out-of-the-box-ways-that-weve-found-talent-this-year\/\">out-of-the-box approaches that have proven effective in finding great talent.<\/a>\n\nIf your business\u2019s social media presence shows a company that is fun to work for and is supportive of its employees, then you could potentially build some online renown. Maybe that one person who saw your post about an exciting team day out will have you in mind when they\u2019re looking for a new job a few months later. It\u2019s all about being memorable and appealing online.\n<h2 id=\"how-can-you-use-social-media-as-part-of-your-recruitment-strategy\">How can you use social media as part of your recruitment strategy?<\/h2>\nHere are just a few ways for you to get started with social media recruiting\u2026\n<h3 id=\"post-your-open-roles\">Post your open roles<\/h3>\nThe first is the easiest for any business with a social media channel. Make an appealing post that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/job-description-template\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">advertises your role clearly<\/a>, with a description that\u2019s easy to understand and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hootsuite.com\/epic-guide-creating-social-media-visuals\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ideally with an image or a video<\/a>.\n\nIt seems obvious as well, but make it clear how people can actually apply \u2013 sometimes roles go up but then there\u2019s no single way suggested for people to reach out and apply. You could find applicants turn up at the door, ring the wrong phone line or get lost in an abandoned email inbox \u2013\u00a0and this confusion can be terrible for <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/candidate-experience-checklist\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">candidate experience<\/a>! So be super clear about where any applications should go, what is required in an application and then monitor that channel carefully.\n<h3 id=\"showcase-your-company-culture\">Showcase your company culture<\/h3>\nWhat makes your company a great place to work? Whether it\u2019s an appealing work environment, a strong team spirit or regular celebrations, find a way to show it off online. If you\u2019ve still got some way to go when it comes to creating a strong company culture, it\u2019s never too late to start improving it. Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/leaders-guide-company-culture\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">company culture guide<\/a> and make your business an appealing place to be.\n<h3 id=\"engage-with-candidates\">Engage with candidates<\/h3>\nRemember that social media isn\u2019t just a one-way platform for your business to advertise itself. It\u2019s called \u2018social\u2019 media for a reason! Make your communication with your audience two-way, whether that\u2019s inviting questions on a new role or replying to queries and comments on a job post. <a href=\"https:\/\/clutch.co\/resources\/how-social-media-is-transforming-pr-and-the-consumer-business-relationship\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A survey from Clutch<\/a> revealed that 80% of people expect brands to reply on social media, with 90% of those saying communication should be done within a day. So make time to keep the discussion flowing.\n<h3 id=\"encourage-employee-advocacy\">Encourage employee advocacy<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s all very well advertising your business as the representative of that said business, but you might want to consider bringing in additional voices. If you\u2019ve got employees who love their work, ask them if they\u2019d be happy to share their perspective, whether that\u2019s on their own personal social channels or through a \u2018takeover\u2019 of your business page.\n\nStatistics show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/employee-advocacy-new-age-recruitment-branding-simone-bonnett--nf56e\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">84% of consumers<\/a> trust recommendations from people they know over any other form of advertising, so employee advocacy can add a crucial level of authenticity to your posting.\n<h2 id=\"which-social-media-platforms-should-you-use\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18429 aligncenter\" height=\"1632\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/austin-distel-TluMvvrZ57g-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px;\" width=\"2560\"\/>Which social media platforms should you use?<\/h2>\nAround <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/social-media-recruitment-statistics\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">90% of recruiters<\/a> use LinkedIn for social media recruiting, and 55% use Facebook. We\u2019ll have a small exploration into these two channels, as well as the newer kid on the block, TikTok.\n<h3 id=\"linkedin\">LinkedIn<\/h3>\nLinkedIn \u2013\u00a0where everyone dons their best virtual get up and puts their professional face forward. As a platform dedicated to career building, it makes sense that LinkedIn is the most popular place for a strong recruitment strategy. Apart from posting job openings and updates, you can get a good picture of potential candidates and even reach out to passive candidates who could be a great fit for your business. Your business-focused content is going to be best received here.\n<h3 id=\"facebook\">Facebook<\/h3>\nFacebook is a great place to build a dedicated audience and reach new people that wouldn&#8217;t have heard about your business. Plus, with over <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/facebook-users\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">3 billion daily users<\/a>, there&#8217;s a good chance you\u2019re fairly comfortable with the platform already. One caveat for success though \u2013 as this isn\u2019t a totally business-focused channel, post regularly and with some variety to cut through the noise. That means not just a job posting once every few months, but updates about your company and your people that your audience will find interesting and entertaining.\n<h3 id=\"tiktok\">TikTok<\/h3>\nAh, TikTok. This platform has rocketed in popularity over the last couple of years, with its 1.5 billion users spending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insiderintelligence.com\/content\/tiktok-will-top-social-app-daily-minutes-2025\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4.43 billion minutes<\/a> watching content every single day. It\u2019s simultaneously amazing for audience engagement and inaccessible for most people who aren\u2019t users themselves. This applies particularly for older generations, many of whom aren\u2019t across the latest dances or trends on the platform.\n\nWith that in mind, if you go for a business TikTok account, get someone to run it who really knows the platform well, and can tap into the trends quickly and effectively. Otherwise you\u2019ll look like the kid who turned up in a blazer at your school\u2019s non-uniform day.\n<h2 id=\"are-there-any-risks-from-using-social-media-platforms-as-a-recruitment-tool\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18426 aligncenter\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/marvin-meyer-SYTO3xs06fU-unsplash-1-1-scaled.jpg\" width=\"2560\"\/>Are there any risks from using social media platforms as a recruitment tool?<\/h2>\nThe biggest risk to businesses when using social media for recruitment is reputational. Many businesses have had their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business.com\/articles\/social-media-brand-fails\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reputations torpedoed<\/a> by poor social media use or thoughtless posting. Don\u2019t forget, businesses can go viral for bad reasons just as quickly as they go viral for good reasons \u2013\u00a0if not quicker.\n\nThis can be a fairly easy fix with a few precautions in place. First, make sure the person in charge of social media has an approval process in place. That could be as simple as a second objective pair of eyes, who can check over their content. It\u2019s amazing how easily things can be misread, so there\u2019s a chance that that second opinion could pick up something that could be hugely damaging.\n\nSecondly, keep it positive and constructive. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/technology\/social-media-twitter-outrage\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">outrage has proven<\/a> to get attention online, it\u2019s best to ensure that people have a positive impression of your business. Boost the kind of information that you think will bring people joy, and avoid complaining or ranting \u2013 no matter how bad a day you\u2019re having.\n<h2 id=\"get-candidates-fast-with-our-applicant-tracking-system\">Get candidates fast with our applicant tracking system<\/h2>\nOnce your social media recruitment has got some top talent interested, that\u2019s where the really exciting bit starts!
