Social Media Recruiting: 5 Tips for Hiring in 2020s
German article explains how social networks can be used for recruiting and presents five practical tips to improve hiring outcomes. Social Media Recruiting is described as the practice of contacting job candidates via career portals such as Xing and LinkedIn, as well as consumer networks like Facebook and Twitter, to position the company as an attractive employer and engage both active job seekers and passive talent. The five tips cover: (1) define a concrete approach with clear goals and assign responsibilities; (2) identify target groups and networks based on where the audience is most reachable; (3) tailor the communication style to each platform (Xing/LinkedIn for professional exchange; Facebook for broader engagement); (4) publish creative content beyond job ads to sustain visibility and strengthen employer branding; (5) choose posting times to match platform usage (Xing/LinkedIn mornings around 08:00–10:00; Facebook in evenings/weekends). The piece is authored by Elisa Pietrasch, Consultant at CLEVIS GmbH (Munich), and notes a CLEVIS infographic titled Social Media Recruiting 2020.
