Sharing your jobs on social media

Your social networks can be a great source for attracting qualified applicants.

1. On your Jobs page, click the three-dots icon to the right of whichever job you want to share and select Share from the drop-down menu.

2. In the Share Job pop-up window, click the icon for the platform where you'd like to share your job: X, LinkedIn, or Facebook.

4. Sign in to your chosen platform via the pop-up window.

5. Enter a compelling message to include with your job posting.

6. Set who can see your post to ensure you reach the right audience.

• X: You can't control your audience on X. However, you can control who can reply to your post by clicking Everyone can reply (globe icon) and selecting a different option.
• LinkedIn: Click the profile icon drop-down in the top left corner of the post to access Post settings.
• Facebook: Click the button under your name to access the Post audience. The button will display your default audience (e.g. Friends, Public, or Custom).

7. Click the Post or Share button (depending on the platform).

When you share a job on one of these platforms, CareerPlug will create a custom link to track applicants from that source.

Analyzing source performance

After sharing your job to social media, you might want to learn whether the social media site to which you shared your job is producing any clicks and/or applicants. To learn this information, click the name of the job to view the job profile page.

Scroll to the bottom of the job profile page to find the Source Conversion Performance chart. This shows the number of applicants and job posting clicks per source, allowing you to see which of your sources are producing high numbers of clicks and/or applicants. Hovering over the bars will provide the exact number of applicants and clicks for that source.

You can adjust the date range (in the top right corner) to expand or shrink the scope of the graph’s data. You can also configure which sources are displayed on the graph by clicking the View More Sources button.

Filtering applicants by source

To view applicants who applied via social media sources, go to your Applicants page and click the Show Filters icon to expand the filters on the left side of the page.

Click the More Filters link at the bottom of the Filters drawer, then select the social media sources you want to see using the Source drop-down.
