We read an excellent article on one of our favourite sites, Mashable about Why Facebook is Important for Recruitment and we would urge you to take a peek. It has a great infographic which explains why Facebook is going to be important to recruiters and it’s not just about the fact it has 900 million users globally or 38 million UK account holders.

No, it’s about the amount of time we spend on Facebook or the recruiter’s ability to engage with potential candidates on Facebook, it’s about the “virality of your brand”; it is a branding platform for your company.

Here are the 10 Tips on how to be awesome on Facebook:

• 1. Design beautiful careers pages and avoid clutter
• 2. Share fresh, interesting and relevant content with your audience
• 3. Listen to candidates and be responsive
• 4. Engage your prospective candidates through quiz and contests
• 5. Give Industry insights and post employee experiences
• 6. Schedule updates and monitor results
• 7. Finally, this is a long term investment not a short term medium.

We hope you found this useful and don't forget that we have Facebook Page App Career pages for your company as well.
