Social Recruiting
Frequently Asked Questions
What is social recruiting?
Social recruiting means using social media to attract and hire talent—but with HireSocial, it’s fully automated.
HireSocial turns your open jobs into branded social posts, pulls in content from your career site or ATS, and fills your calendar with ready-to-publish posts. You approve what you like—then it runs on autopilot.
You can also add culture content, spotlight employees, or share community moments. Recruiters and employees can share posts with just one click.
It’s social recruiting without the manual lift.
How does HireSocial work?
HireSocial connects to your ATS or career site, auto-generates branded social posts for your jobs, and schedules them across your company and recruiter pages. All you have to do is approve — no social media skills required.
What makes HireSocial different from other social recruiting tools?
Simplicity. Most platforms hand you a content calendar and walk away. HireSocial generates content for you, queues it up, and fills your posting schedule automatically. You stay in control without spending hours managing it.
Do I need to train my team to use it?
No training required. HireSocial was built to be instantly usable. Recruiters and employees just click a link to connect — no logins, no setup, no instructions needed.
Can we control what gets posted?
Yes. Every post is optional. You can approve, reject, or edit any post — and even upload your own images or write your own captions. But if you’d rather set it and forget it, we’ve got that covered too.
Can I really “set it and forget it”? How much ongoing work is needed?
Absolutely — that’s the whole point.
HireSocial was built for overwhelmed recruiting teams. Once your career site is connected, the system automatically generates posts based on your jobs and branding. You just review and approve (or reject) what you like. From there, it runs on autopilot, filling a “content tank” that schedules posts for days or weeks ahead. Want to prioritize a role? Mark it. Want to tweak a caption or image? Edit it. Don’t want to touch it again for a month? You don’t have to.
Does it work without employees having big social followings?
Absolutely. Social platforms are search engines. Even with zero followers, posts can be discovered by job seekers via keywords, hashtags, and shares.
What if our managers or employees aren’t active on LinkedIn?
No problem. HireSocial auto-publishes to company pages and any connected accounts. Activity is encouraged, but not required. The platform runs in the background either way.
Can we promote specific jobs or hiring events?
Yes. Tag high-priority jobs for extra visibility or create one-off posts for hiring events, awards, or culture content. All it takes is a few clicks.
What kind of reporting do we get?
You’ll see clicks, engagement, and post performance in one clean dashboard.
While HireSocial doesn’t replace full analytics platforms, it gives you exactly what you need to know: what’s posting, what’s getting clicks, and which profiles are performing best. For most teams, that’s all they need. If you’re managing social manually today, this is a huge upgrade — no spreadsheets, no guessing.
Do we need a marketing team to use this?
Nope. HireSocial is made for recruiters, not marketers. But if you have a marketing team, they can upload brand assets, review content, or co-manage the workflow.
How long does setup take?
Most teams are live in under 10 minutes. Just enter your career site URL, connect your socials, and you’re ready to go. Want help? We’ll walk you through it.
Where does HireSocial fit in the recruiting funnel?
HireSocial amplifies the top of the funnel — building awareness and interest before candidates actively search. It turns passive job seekers into engaged applicants by keeping your brand and jobs visible on social, consistently.
How does HireSocial compare to traditional job boards?
Job boards rely on active searches. HireSocial reaches candidates before they start looking — by meeting them in their daily scroll. It complements job boards by driving traffic from social directly to your open roles.
What’s the difference between HireSocial and social media schedulers like Buffer or Sprout?
Those tools are built for marketers. HireSocial is built for recruiting — it auto-creates job content, matches posts to recruiters, and reads directly from your ATS or career site. No blank calendars or content planning needed.
How is this different from doing it in-house with a VA or social media intern?
Manual workflows fall apart quickly. HireSocial removes the bottlenecks: no approvals to chase, no content to write, no graphics to design. Your team focuses on hiring — not managing social media.
What kind of companies is HireSocial best for?
Time-strapped recruiting teams. Especially companies without dedicated social recruiting resources. Whether you’re hiring at scale or filling niche roles, HireSocial keeps your pipeline warm with minimal lift.
