Being at the right place, at the right time

[Joywtome231]

Although the team’s based in Europe and I live in the US, I saw Social-Hire’s content pop up on my Twitter feed every day. Social media wasn’t my only challenge as a recruiter, though, so it was helpful that the blog covered other recruitment and career topics.

As I started sharing articles that I liked and replying to tweets I had an opinion on, I’d often meet someone new. Many of my favorite bloggers are people I met through their writing.

Since both the readership and authorship were targeted in the recruitment industry, the content and social proof immediately felt credible. It felt like I was joining a discussion with other recruiters who were sharing something they’ve learned from experience rather than just reiterating something they’ve read.



Lesson learned: frequency and timing matters.
At Social-Hire, on Twitter, we advise clients to post 6-8 times every day at different times chile phone number library so that you’re covering the early morning through to just before your audience goes to sleep. On Facebook, Google Plus, and LinkedIn, it's ideal to post 2-3 times a day, whether those are all original posts or alternating between posting and sharing content from other pages.



Making a lasting impression
After taking a break from the recruitment world to complete my last internship toward my Bachelor’s in Education (the school hours and office hours didn’t mix), I was rudely awakened to find out that there wasn’t a portal to my dream career at the other side of the stage.



Encouraged by Social-Hire's blog, I started contributing to recruitment blogs in order to raise my professional profile and get my name out there in the recruitment world.

Before doing this, I spent time learning about the kind of content that tends to get shared the most by researching the science of social sharing, looking at the most shared blogs that Social-Hire published, taking down notes on things that stood out in viral marketing campaigns I personally liked, and overall just looking at content with a critical eye.
