Two audiences, one feed

Win the candidates. Win the clients.

Recruitment is the only industry selling to both sides of the same deal. Your social media has to attract great people and convince hiring managers you are the agency to call. We plan for both, every month.

For candidates

Be the agency people follow before they need you

Job seekers follow agencies that help them, not ones that just post vacancies. Useful advice and real roles keep you in their feed until they are ready to move.

  • Live roles turned into scroll-stopping job posts
  • CV, interview and career advice
  • Polls and prompts that build a following
  • Candidate success stories
For clients

Be the agency hiring managers call first

Decision makers check your LinkedIn before they sign terms. A busy, expert feed shows you know their market and have the candidates to prove it.

  • Market and salary insights for your sector
  • Placements and client wins
  • Your consultants as specialists
  • Employer branding tips for clients
Your content pipeline

Social media that works like your recruitment pipeline

You move candidates from sourced to placed. We move your audience from scrolling to applying, with posts planned for every stage.

The difference

Your consultants place people. We will handle the posting.

Most recruitment agencies know social media brings in candidates and clients, but billing always comes first. Here is what changes when you hand it over.

The right mix, not just a stream of job ads

Feeds full of vacancies get ignored. We balance live roles with content people want to follow. On Basic that is three posts a week, each shared to two platforms, usually LinkedIn plus Instagram or Facebook.

Proof and people

Placements, reviews and your consultants, so people know who they are dealing with.

Standard adds a third platform and video. Pro gets six posts a week across up to four platforms, plus Stories.

Example recruitment post: interview tip, the STAR method
Example recruitment post: quick poll, where do you do your best work?

Recruitment know-how

Recruitment marketing, done properly

Job adverts come with rules most agencies only think about when something goes wrong. We build them into every post, and you approve everything before it goes live.

See the official guidance on job adverts.

1

Your agency name on every advert

Job posts include your full agency name and say whether a role is permanent or temporary, as the Conduct Regulations require.

2

Pay details done properly

If a post shows a salary, we include the job, location, experience needed and any training required, in line with the same rules.

3

Inclusive language

We avoid wording that could put people off or discriminate under the Equality Act, so your adverts reach the widest pool.

4

Consent for success stories

Candidate and client reviews are only used with permission, and we can anonymise names when people prefer.

“Every one of our social media campaigns was done to perfection and created us a lot of new business. Would highly recommend to anyone.”

Questions

Recruitment social media FAQs

Do you work with recruitment agencies in every sector?

Yes. We manage social media for generalist and specialist recruitment agencies, from tech, finance and marketing to healthcare, construction, driving and industrial, and for both permanent and temporary desks.

Can you post our live vacancies?

Yes. Send us your priority roles, or a link to the job on your website, and we turn them into branded job posts with the key details and a clear way to apply. Roles can be added to your plan at any point in the month.

Is LinkedIn the best platform for recruitment agencies?

For most agencies LinkedIn matters most, especially for winning clients and professional roles. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok work well for graduate, hospitality, driving, warehouse and care roles, so we recommend the mix that fits your desks.

Do your job posts follow recruitment advertising rules?

Yes. Job posts include your agency's full name and whether a role is permanent or temporary, and if a salary is shown we include the job, location, experience and any training needed. We also avoid discriminatory language, and you approve every post.

Can you help with our consultants' personal LinkedIn profiles?

Our plans cover your company pages. We can also write posts for your consultants to share from their own profiles, which is one of the best ways to reach more candidates and clients. Just ask us about it.

How much does social media management for a recruitment agency cost?

Our plans start at £99+VAT a month for Basic, £199+VAT for Standard and £299+VAT for Pro, with no contract. A traditional agency typically charges £500+ a month.

Can you use candidate testimonials?

Yes, with the candidate's or client's permission. We design reviews and success stories as eye-catching graphics, and can leave out names or use initials only when people prefer.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. We charge upfront for the month ahead, and you can cancel, pause or come back whenever you need. Just give us at least ten working days' notice before your next billing date.

Can you reply to comments and messages from candidates?

Yes, with our community management add-on from £40+VAT an hour. A real person replies to comments and messages and points candidates to the right consultant, so no applicant slips through the net.
