The 10 Commandmentsof Twitter Recruiting

by

#1 Be VisualYou have 3 places to add an image: the page background, the header image and the profile pic. Take advantage of this opportunity to brand your profile with your colors and logo.

● Upload a cool background image that has a picture of your building, office space or other industry visual. Use the upper left corner to display important website URLS/email addresses.

● Your profile pic is the best place for your company logo.

● Don’t be afraid to show off your employees.

#2 Name It ProperlyTake your company name and add the word ‘careers’ at the end. Avoid using _underscores or - dashes if possible.

If you post a lot of jobs consider using a job only account like amtrak does:

@amtrakcareers @amtrakjobs

#7 Location. Location. Location. Make sure your job tweets have a location (ideally city & state) or at least one of them.

Use twitterfeed.com to sync up your job rss feed to your twittter acct for auto-posting while you sleep. Also be sure your profile has a city/state listed.

#8 Hashtag ItInclude the hashtag #job on all job tweets since that is the most prevalent identifier on twitter for new job openings.

The best alternative after that is #hiring

#9 Be HumanThough you can automate your tweets to save time, you should also include a human to respond to others and contribute unique perspectives.

Use a combination of human voice and technology to grow your twitter account.

#10 Do TweekendsTweet at least 5 days a week. If you can tweet on weekends do it.

People tweet less on Saturdays/Sundays so if you are still active your tweets will get more exposure.
