1. Recruiting on Facebook: Is It Possible?

2. Over the last few years we’ve noticed
a steady rise in the use of Facebook as
a recruitment platform. Everywhere
you look, businesses are turning their
fan pages into job boards when the
need arises. But there are more
advantages to Facebook employee
hunting than you think. Can you use
Facebook to find your next ideal
employee? Experts say – yes!

3. Facebook Fan Page Boards

4. It makes sense that if you’re looking
for a new employee that lives in your
area, the most ideal place to find them
would be on Facebook. But how do
you go about doing this? Businesses
are finding new and exciting ways to
tap their local jobs markets every day.

5. If you want something simple – a
simple update announcing your new
position would be sufficient. Just make
sure that you include a link to the full
spec on your business website. Include
an image so that you get more views.

6. For something a little more direct, a
posting in your ‘notes’ or ‘discussion’
area would be great, and you can
include the full job listing there. Also
include a prompt for friends, family
and fans to share this post with their
networks, to widen the search.
Remember to check in on that page to
answer any questions and give
directions as to how they should send
in their resume and details.

7. Facebook Job Application

8. Increasingly there are companies that
are having job applications created for
their Facebook fan pages. These apps
allow the user to upload their resumes
directly on the fan page.

9. They are great for enticing prospects,
and easier to promote in a Facebook
advertising campaign. When you get a
job app created, you can constantly
add whatever positions are available at
your company, for a once off
development fee.

10. Using The Facebook Network

11. There are also many local job sites that
have crossed over to Facebook. If you
have a niche specific job, do a search
in your Facebook search bar for pages
and groups that attract qualified
applicants. Post your job description
and link directly to these pages, or
contact the admin about positing on
their website, and then using their
Facebook network to promote your
job post.

12. Facebook Marketplace

13. Use the Facebook marketplace to
source great applicants for your new
position. There is a ‘jobs’ section that
millions of people search daily. All you
have to do is click on ‘post a job’ add in
your details, and publish. The
Facebook jobs plugin allows you to
optimize your search so that you’ll get
more hits. Keyword your title,
category, location and description for
the best results possible.

14. These recruitment techniques are
used by businesses all over the world.
If you want to make sure that you are
casting a wide net for your employee
search, Facebook is a great platform to
use. This is especially true if you take
advantage of the Facebook
promotional tools, like invite friends
and their advertising network.
