Recruiting where they scroll

Most of your future colleagues aren't on a job board. They're scrolling during their break and on the couch. Being visible there with the right story, that's social recruitment.

What is social recruitment?

Social recruitment is hiring via social media: being visible to candidates with targeted campaigns and content on channels like Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, even when they're not actively looking. At SocialFind it's a tool within the RPO approach: the channel follows from the target audience, never the other way around.

How we determine what your vacancies need

LATENT REACH

Also the people who aren't looking

If you only advertise on job sites, you only reach active seekers. On social you reach exactly the people who are open to something new but would never search for it themselves. For scarce target audiences, that's often the only route.

How to reach latent talent
The SocialFind team at work

Social recruitment is one of the tools within our RPO approach. We use it when your target audience can be reached on social, and always in combination with recruitment marketing, content and the funnel behind it.

Which channel fits which target audience?

That's the key question, and the answer differs per role. Channels like Meta and TikTok are examples that can work very well for practical and operational audiences, while LinkedIn tends to fit specialist profiles. But we never promise a channel up front: the analysis of your vacancy, target audience and labor market determines the mix, and the results determine whether that mix stays.

More than placing an ad

Anyone can switch on a campaign. The difference is in the combination: content that connects with the target audience, targeting that's right, a funnel without hurdles and fast follow-up afterwards. If one link is missing, you pay for reach without results.

What makes social recruitment effective?

Four conditions that determine whether social delivers results or just costs budget.

The target audience determines the channel
We choose channels based on where your target audience really is, not on what happens to be trendy.
Content that stops the scroll
Real colleagues and real work floors outperform stock images. We create fitting content per channel.
Targeting and retargeting
The right message for the right people, and staying visible to those who already showed interest.
A funnel that finishes the job
From scroll to application in a few minutes, mobile and hassle-free. Otherwise the reach leaks away.
