What if you didn’t need to struggle to find talent? Seriously. What if you knew exactly where to find the candidates you’re looking for, and the right words to attract them with?
It’s how Wounded Warrior Project received 562% more apply-click traffic after posting their jobs to their recruiters’ LinkedIn profiles through CareerArc.
It’s how ULTA Beauty saw a 70% YOY increase in applicants and a 50% YOY increase in hires from posting their jobs to social media through CareerArc.
It’s how King’s Hawaiian Bakery saw 10x more applicants a month after using CareerArc to post to social media.
Here’s the secret.
Maximum results, minimal time
It starts with social media. As the #1 location candidates go to for researching an employers’ brand and reputation and with almost 80% of today’s candidates using social media in their job search, social media recruiting is a trend you can no longer afford to ignore or underinvest in.
But while telling the world you’re #hiring on social media will definitely make a difference, if you want to become the Candidate Whisperer, you need to step it up: you need to know the right words to say.
(Oh, when powered by CareerArc’s powerful automation capabilities, you’ll be able to do all this and more while also saving yourself tons of time. But we’ll get to that.)

How to speak so candidates listen
1. Think beyond the fact that you’re hiring
Which job post would you more likely click on?
This one:
Or this one:
To stand out from the crowd, your job posts need to do far more than simply state that you’re hiring. Each job post should be viewed as an employer brand post, showing your candidates why they should want to come work for you.
2. Focus the conversation around your candidates
Instead of making the job post about how you’re hiring, make it about what they get out of it. Like United Pacific did here, by opening with the benefit for work-life balance and only then sharing that they’re hiring.
3. Let your employees speak for you
We all know how powerful testimonials are. So why not combine a job post with a testimonial by getting your employees to share what they love about working for you?
Here’s an example of what that looks like:
4. Tailor your job posts to the job
Word your job post according to the job you’re hiring for. While a part-time gig should emphasize the flexibility and control offered, like in this post:
A job for an experienced and creative professional might emphasize more the challenge offered:
Do it all while saving yourself time
By now, you’re probably thinking: hang on. Won’t crafting job posts like these take way more time than I have to spare?
Normally? Yeah.
