For a long time Facebook has been used predominately by HR teams to improve employer branding. However, things are about to change. Facebook have recently launched a new subsection to their platform aptly named Jobs on Facebook. This allows recruiters to easily post vacancies and job seekers to apply for those vacancies without leaving the platform.
With an estimated 39.2 million Facebook users in the UK this gives businesses the ability to access an audience unparalleled to any other platforms. It also gives recruiters the ability to reach new audiences who don't actively utilise job boards. And the best part? It's completely free. Here's how to use Jobs on Facebook to help you attract more talent.
How to use Jobs on Facebook
Simply login to your Facebook business page and select the 'Jobs' tab which is below 'offers and above 'info and ads'. From here you can insert your advert details, job title, salary, location etc. There's even the ability to add in pre-screening questions as you would on your favourite job boards.
Once posted your vacancy will appear on:
- The Facebook Jobs Tab
- Your Facebook business page
- The news feed of your followers
If you have little bit of advertising budget available you could also 'boost' your post. By boosting your advert you can target Facebook users by their geographical location, job title and education level.
