Recruiting is similar to marketing in regards to the efforts of getting open jobs noticed by the public. The main goal is to attract qualified talent to apply for jobs in the shortest amount of time. Social media is key in accomplishing this goal (not to mention virtually free to use), since it can reach a large amount of people and specific geological areas instantly. However, if your applicant tracking system is charging you to use social media on their platform – that is simply unfair!
ATS OnDemand is proud to be a “pay as you grow” applicant tracking system (ATS) platform because we help small and mid-sized businesses succeed without killing their budget. One of our standard system features is our Social Post feature. This connects business and/or personal LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook accounts to the ATS so hiring teams can share job links, career pages, and company news instantly. Here’s some of the features:
- Jobs/Positions: This tab includes a list of all active jobs in the ATS plus your main career page. Selecting a job will generate a link that will automatically be placed into your social media post. If you’d like to market out all of your positions, simply select your career page and a URL will generate linking candidates to your main career site.
2. Buzz Words: Have industry specific buzz words or simply want to make posting easier? Store your most frequently used phrases and slogans within the “buzz words” tab and quickly pull in messages into your post.
3. Hash Tags: These are specifically great for using on Twitter! Hashtags can get you noticed by hundreds even thousands of people using the same tag in their social posts. Store the most frequently used hashtags to pull them instantly into your posts. We recommend researching commonly used hashtags within your industry and regarding recruitment and jobs in general so you can expand your reach!
4. Schedule for later: Want to get proactive? Create posts and schedule them to post to social media automatically at later dates and times.
