How employers can leverage social media to obtain and attract top talent.

The recruitment process is a time-consuming and costly endeavor. Adding social media into the mix can make it more manageable and less expensive. Social media has become one of the most important ways to attract, identify, and engage with top talent in your industry. The key for employers is to create an online presence that aligns with their company culture so candidates will be able to get a clear picture of what working at your organization would look like before they even apply. Once you have identified which channels are best suited for your needs (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), you can start connecting with potential employees by sharing valuable content or posting about opportunities within the company on those sites. The workforce is changing, and employers are finding themselves in a world where they need to adapt or risk becoming obsolete. The days of relying on the traditional job boards and classifieds are over. Employers now need to be savvy about how they attract top talent, and social media is one way to do this.

When it comes to finding new employees via social media, there are a number of benefits. For one thing, this method is more likely (than the traditional route for locating candidates)to attract candidates with good cultural compatibility and values that align with those of your company's brand.

When building your following, it's important to understand that not only customers follow your pages; competitors, potential employees, and businesses in your network. When creating posts it's important to showcase your brand and the quality of work your team produces. Coupled with content that showcases your positive work environment, and you're sure to attract top talent.


When reaching out to candidates, most businesses will contact someone via phone or email. This works, however, reaching out to your candidates on social media will let you interact with them on a more personal level, helping you determine if they're a good fit for your company before you even begin the interview process. In addition, most people are active on social media, by messaging a candidate on social media, they're more likely to see your message and respond to you before your competitors.
