Recruiting can feel like you’re running six directions at once, what with job boards, social media, website updates, ads, and more.
But that’s not ideal. If you want to win candidates’ attention and maximize your efforts, all the pieces of your recruiting strategy should work together.
That’s why we designed BuildWitt Jobs to work with your other recruiting efforts. Here are six ways you can use it to help you create a cohesive recruiting experience.
1. Automatically import postings from other job boards
Hey, we get it—we’re not the only recruiting tool in your life. And it would be a huge pain in the butt to individually post openings on Every. Single. One.
That’s why we made BuildWitt Jobs easy to integrate with your current HR system. Our team will help you set up automatic imports so any job openings you post in your HR system also show up on BuildWitt Jobs—even if you have hundreds of current openings.
2. Integrate applicant tracking
BuildWitt Jobs comes with a built-in applicant tracking system (ATS). But chances are if you’re at a larger company, you’re already using your own ATS. That’s fine by us!
Rather than make you learn our system, we’ll integrate yours. That way, candidates can apply on BuildWitt Jobs, and you can view and manage their applications in the ATS you already know and use.
3. Rank in Google searches
You may be running Google ads as part of your recruiting strategy, or you may have decided to skip the whole search engine optimization thing for now.
Either way, BuildWitt Jobs can help you expand your recruiting efforts and show up in candidates’ online searches.
Our job board is integrated with Google—so when a candidate types in a relevant search term like “construction laborer jobs near me,” your posting will rank in the search results.
That means more eyeballs on your job openings, without spending extra money on ads or extra time to learn SEO.
4. Create a consistent employer brand
As part of your BuildWitt Jobs package, you’ll get a profile that you can customize to showcase your company and attract recruits. It’s super easy to set up, and it helps you share all the important things recruits want to know about your company.
Why’s that a big deal?
Because it’s a great way to build a strong employer brand!
When you make information about your company easy to find, you know what that tells recruits? You’re consistent. You pay attention to details. You care. You’re a good employer. That’ll make people want to work for you!
You can include things like:
- Team member stories. If you want someone to work for you, showcase the people who already do. That tells recruits you care about your team and helps them picture themselves as part of it.
- Culture. Recruits need to know what makes your organization, well, itself. They need to know your values and mission to make sure it’s a good fit.
- Your work. Sharing a quick description, photos, or videos of your work helps recruits understand what you do and how they can contribute.
- Benefits. If you’ve got company-wide benefits—like a training program, 401(k) matching, or parental leave—let recruits know. You may have just what they’re looking for.
- Links. Whether it’s to your social media accounts, company website, or both, you can include links in your employer profile to make sure recruits can find any additional info they want about your company.
Make the most of social media
Speaking of social media, there’s a lot to be gained from combining BuildWitt Jobs with your social media recruiting efforts.
Sharing job posts on social media
It’s super important to share your job openings there. Lots of young people use social media to look for work—not just to watch funny cat videos.
That’s why we make it super easy to share your BuildWitt Jobs posts on social media. In just a few clicks, you can increase your audience to include BuildWitt Jobs users and your social media followers. That’s a win-win!
Turn our audience into yours
Another big perk of BuildWitt Jobs is that you don’t just reach your own audience . . . you reach ours, too.
We have millions of followers on our BuildWitt social media accounts and our Dirt Talk podcast, and we regularly tell them about the great opportunities they can find on BuildWitt Jobs. That’s a bonus you won’t get with most job boards!
We're also launching @buildwittjobs on Instagram, so you can tag us and reach even more Dirt World job seekers.
