Frequently Asked Questions
Should we create separate social accounts for recruitment?
Our channel strategy typically recommends integrating recruitment content into your main social presence rather than creating separate careers accounts, which can reach more passive candidates while showing how employees fit into your overall brand story.
How do we balance promotional content with authentic workplace representation?
Our content framework emphasizes day-in-the-life content, employee spotlights, and behind-the-scenes glimpses rather than polished recruitment messaging, as authenticity significantly outperforms traditional job advertising.
How do we encourage employees to participate in employer branding?
Our advocacy program provides clear guidelines, content suggestions, and optional participation approaches that make it easy for employees to share their experiences without feeling pressured.
Which social platforms work best for recruitment?
Our channel strategy helps you identify the best platforms based on your industry and target roles, typically recommending LinkedIn for professional positions, Instagram for culture-focused content, and TikTok or YouTube for reaching younger candidates.
