Using Pinterest for Job Postings - Recruiter view


Now, we know the popularity of Pinterest.  How can we leverage it to attract Talent ?  Here are few thoughts.

Create Pin Boards:  Different Pin Boards should be created based on the Category and/or location etc. For example, one of your Pin Board name could be: "Nurse Jobs - MyHospital".

Add image(s) to Job description: Note that images should talk about the Job.  Here is an example.  See more examples here.  Please note that you can pin videos as well and hence adding video(s) to Job description is also recommended.  For example, you can add a Youtube video which talks about "Work at MyCompany".

Add PinIt button: You can add Pin It button to your Job Details page. This allows the visitors of the career page to easily share it on Pinterest. Read more about Pin It button here.

Search for Candidates:  You can also search for candidates in Pinterest.  Search for "Resume", "My Resume" etc and refine it further for more suitable candidates.

When are you starting to use Pinterest for your recruitment needs?
