Using Social Media Effectively


Benefits of Hiring Summer Students



                                                  Once you have created your job posting, you have to ensure that students are aware
                                                  of the opportunity. Your job posting will appear on the www.nbjobs.ca website, but you
                                                  may wish to use other marketing strategies (like social media) to spread the word.

  Why is this important?

                      Traditional advertising mediums such as  job boards and newspapers have limited
                                                   value with students who are more prone to use social media and mobile apps to job
                                                   search.  Targeting the candidates through social media can increase your chances of
                                                   good candidates  seeing and responding to your job posting. 


Tips:

1.  Embrace social media if you want to get the attention of students. Posting ads in traditional mediums (news-
    papers, job banks) is a good strategy but to ensure you are reaching as much of the labour market pool as
    possible make sure you are social media/mobile friendly as well.

     Over 78% of job seekers use smartphones to search/apply for jobs.

2.  Market heavily to job seekers. Clearly outline any perks, skills/training benefits with the job in your posting.
    Effectively promote the vision for your organization and a positive work environment.
