Your Facebook Business Page isn’t just for customers and clients. Use it as a tool to attract potential employees and act as a Facebook Recruiting Portal. Here are a few tips on how to use your defacto Facebook Recruiting Portal to showcase company culture and communicate who you are to future employees.
Facebook Business Basics and Using it as a Facebook Recruiting Portal
During the job search process, potential employees are doing their own research and due diligence on the companies they wish to work for. Job seekers not only view a company’s website but also explore their social platforms. Your business page (you have one, right?) should reflect everything that makes your organization a great place to work.
Showcase Company Culture
Company culture is more important than ever in the modern workplace. It’s a proven contributor to attracting better talent and contributes to lower turnover rates. It’s important to highlight your company culture on your Facebook Business Page by frequently posting authentic and engaging images, videos, and content.

What Should You Post on Facebook?
Your posts should consistently communicate who you are, reflect your core values, and highlight your culture. Above all, they should provide value to the reader (value doesn’t mean always promoting your own business). Create content that defines you as the leader in your industry. Industry leaders attract potential customers and better talent.

Chatbot Auto Response examples:

Insert Auto Response that includes a list of open positions with a link to job descriptions
