1. The 10 Commandments
of Twitter Recruiting
by

2. #1 Be Visual
You have 3 places to add an image: the page
background, the header image and the profile
pic. Take advantage of this opportunity to brand
your profile with your colors and logo.
● Upload a cool background image that has
a picture of your building, office space or
other industry visual. Use the upper left
corner to display important website
URLS/email addresses.
● Your profile pic is the best place for your
company logo.
● Don’t be afraid to show off your
employees.

3. #2 Name It Properly
Take your company name and add
the word ‘careers’ at the end. Avoid
using _underscores or - dashes if
possible.
If you post a lot of jobs consider using
a job only account like amtrak does:
@amtrakcareers @amtrakjobs

4. #3 Use it to Source
The candidates are there waiting to
be discovered. Use the Twitter
people search to search for keywords
inside people’s bios. Put them into
lists.
Or check out the upgraded search
feature on Jobcritters which allows
you to search, share, save and export
twitter profiles.

Use the right keywords in your profile that accurately describe your industry & the skills you hire for. Be sure to
add a hashtag in your profile as hashtags are proven to get more engagement.

7. #6 Tweet good content
Post photos of your work environment, employees, company events. Be as visual as possible since tweets with pics
get more engagement. Use tools like InstaJob (link) to make instant visual job tweets to share on twitter. Talk about
your benefits, give advice...don’t just post jobs.

8. #7 Location. Location. Location.
Make sure your job tweets have a
location (ideally city & state) or at least
one of them.
Use twitterfeed.com to sync up your job
rss feed to your twittter acct for auto-posting
while you sleep. Also be sure
your profile has a city/state listed.
Tens of thousands of jobs are posted to
Twitter every day. Help job seekers find
yours easier with location keywords!

9. #8 Hashtag It
Include the hashtag #job on
all job tweets since that is
the most prevalent identifier
on twitter for new job
openings.
The best alternative after
that is #hiring

10. #9 Be Human
Though you can automate your
tweets to save time, you should
also include a human to respond
to others and contribute unique
perspectives.
Use a combination of human
voice and technology to grow
your twitter account.

11. #10 Do Tweekends
Tweet at least 5 days a week.
If you can tweet on weekends
do it.
People tweet less on
Saturdays/Sundays so if you
are still active your tweets will
get more exposure.
