Seeing as social media platforms are the number one reason millennials are asking for smart phones these days, businesses are now getting a hold on social network pages to boost their employer branding and social media is proving to be highly effective for successful recruitment campaigns. This new generation are using Snapchat to broadcast themselves and in a way to publicize their skills on the internet for others to notice, so recruiters should start to do the same.

 

One of the big new hits that we have seen dominate the lives of many young people is the rise of Snapchat. For anyone who does not know what this is, Snapchat is a video messaging application that allows its users to share videos, photos, and messages with their network. They can customize the photos however they like and they can send it to all of their friends and also people who they add on the application. The app now has over 150 million users who are online every day and 10 billion videos are uploaded daily, so it really is a hot house for anyone wanting to spread a message to a large proportion of the population.

Another feature that Snapchat unveiled a while ago was its promotional story tools for businesses that wanted to broaden their targeted reach. By paying for a space on Snapchat’s continually updating storyboard that all users can see, businesses are guaranteed an extra bonus of views and a jump in candidate interest. This could be used in turn with a recruitment campaign to emphasize the fun loving and technologically savvy side of your company. But recruiters and recruitment marketers must be aware that one of the attractive qualities of Snapchat is its natural and authentic content. Therefore, all videos and photos posted must not be staged or faked, otherwise your vigilant and smart audience will realize that you are faking it.
