The Recruiter Life Chronicles: How and What to Post on LinkedIn!
Greetings, Loyal Followers!
Welcome back to another edition of The Recruiter Life Chronicles, your go-to source for navigating the upside-down world of recruitment with a touch of humour and a splash of insight. This week, we're diving into the realm of LinkedIn posting – because let's face it, mastering the art of posting on LinkedIn is practically a recruiter's superpower.
First up, let’s talk content...
Let's be real, not all posts are created equal. Here are a few examples of what to post on your LinkedIn feed:
✅ Insightful Industry Updates: Share thought-provoking articles, case studies, or personal reflections on the latest trends shaking up the recruitment world.
✅ Bikini Pics from Your Last Beach Getaway: What better way to gain followers than to post a semi naked picture from your holiday accompanied with a thinly veiled attempt to plug your vacancies?
✅ Success Stories: Celebrate your wins by spotlighting successful placements or sharing testimonials from satisfied clients and candidates.
✅ Polls: How else we will we know if people want to Work from Home, Work from the Office or have a Hybrid role? A poll is the only way to find out.
✅ Behind-the-Scenes Sneak Peeks: Give your audience a glimpse into the inner workings of your day-to-day life as a recruiter. Whether it's a sneak peek into your home office setup or a quick snapshot of your coffee mug with #RecruiterLife, authenticity goes a long way.
✅ Drunken Night Out Posts: Make sure that every Monday you post a picture of you and your friends from the weekend doing the cha-cha slide at 2 a.m alongside your current vacancies.
Why even bother posting on LinkedIn?
Boost Your Visibility: Think of your LinkedIn profile as your own personal advertising board on the side of the road. The more you post, the more eyes you attract. It's like waving a giant flag saying, "Hey, I'm here, and I mean business!" Who wouldn't want that kind of attention?
Establish Your Expertise: Posting regularly allows you to showcase your knowledge and expertise in your field. Whether you're dropping nuggets of wisdom about the latest recruitment trends or sharing insider tips on acing interviews, your posts position you as the go-to guru in your niche.
Build Meaningful Connections: LinkedIn isn't just a platform for exchanging pleasantries with your professional pals – it's a goldmine for forging genuine connections. By sharing valuable content, you're not just adding to the noise; you're sparking meaningful conversations and nurturing relationships that could lead to your next big hire or collaboration.
Remember, the key to LinkedIn posting success lies in striking the perfect balance between professionalism and personality. So, go forth, fellow recruiters, and conquer the LinkedInverse, one post at a time!
Until next time, keep recruiting and keep posting – because the world is your LinkedIn oyster.
