Highlights:
• Social /Professional Networks = Top 3 preferred Communication Channels!
• Facebook is the most popular Social Network for both social & career purposes
• Data shows that Facebook is not “the young people’s network” nor “the old people’s network”. It’s everyone’s network.
• LinkedIn is great for professionals, but not as effective for students
How not to win the Talent War… Especially not on Social Media!
• We’re big, we’re global!
• Yeah… I know! So is every other company I’m considering….
Lack of differentiation
• What does Talent want to know about?
• What is the company culture like - really? What goes on inside the company? Who works there? Will I like working there? What does the office look like? What projects/clients will I get to work on? Etc.
Bottom line: You’re not selling a job! Your selling an experience!
• Social Media, especially Facebook, is perfect for answering these questions!
Why does this not work?

Sharing best practices:
Content! - Content is King! Without good
content it’s not going to work - ever! Just sharing photos from your campus event and “Happy Friday”, is not going to cut it. It needs to be engaging. You need to have a strategy to see ROI.
- Of course this is the same across all social channels!

Challenge Solution: Job Activation Campaign
Results
• Banking losing attractiveness
• Typical banking job not attractive to new grads

• Very short timeline
• Outreach: 26,000+• Engagement: 75% of all people that
clicked on the adverts, engaged with them.
• Over 1,500 website visits.• Talent Pipeline to fill open positions
Challenge
• Attracting international students back home;
• Lack of awareness of opportunities:
• Campus events not attended by the right profile;
• After campus, communication stops; no post-engagement;
• Very small target group;
Solution: EVP Activation Campaign to drive event registrations
Results so far
• Expected number of pre-registrations complete (6% of target group engaged)• 1,000+ engagements (likes, shares, website visits etc.) = over 30% of target group
What about other Social Media Channels?

• It’s not about Likes/Followers/Fans, it’s about engagement! Sure having reach is good, however it means nothing without engagement!
• Some key metrics:
Post Engagement Rate
Daily Page Engagement Rate
Clicks-through Rate
