Agenda
Don’t get stuck in the boardroom!
Understand your limitations
• Is your industry regulated? (FINRA etc)
• Are your decision makers just uncomfortable? Why?
Babystep…
• If your Marketing department is there already – build off the footprint
• Usually job distribution is a “safe” starting point if there are concerns
If you want to engage in dialog…
Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn:
• Company Awards
• Company and industry news
• Jobs!!
• Photos of associates
• Helpful job search tips and articles
• Open up conversation
• Shout-out to events attending
• Correspondence with candidates about the application/interviewing process
If you plan to distribute jobs…
On Facebook:
• Consider user experience
• Make sure you are sharing jobs WITH your brand
On Twitter:
• Make sure you are hashtagging: #Jobs #Job etc…
• Delete jobs once they have been filled
• Delete and refresh your jobs (think of a traditional board)
• IF you are distributing more than 2-3 jobs a day, consider separating out any job tweeting from the conversation
