Text-for-Jobs can be a powerful tool for attracting and converting more candidates for your jobs. But like most things, what you get out of it is primarily a result of how much you invest in it. 

Below we've included some examples and tips for how to promote your Text-for-Jobs campaign. 

We recommend selecting at least 2 of these tactics for promoting your Text-for-Jobs campaign to maximize the impact. 😄
​

Posting your Text-for-Jobs campaign on social media is a great way to promote your campaign and drive new qualified candidates in the door. Share across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram to maximize your reach. 

Your post can include copy only or you can add an image to increase engagement (examples below). 

Sample copy: “Interested in working at [company name]? Text [KEYWORD] to 89743 to chat about open jobs!”

To optimize your images, follow the below size guidelines for each social media channel: 

If you post an image, make sure to write a message to your audience above the image. Use copy that will appeal to passive candidates that aren't necessarily ready to apply. 

For example: "Looking for a job in sales or just curious what it's like working at Grayscale? Text JOBS to 89743 to explore a career with us and apply!"

When you post on social, your work isn't done! Get the recruiting team to help promote the post by liking it and sharing it with their networks. 

This helps extend the reach of your post (for example, LinkedIn loves post engagement, so likes and shares your post stays at the top of people's feeds longer!).
​

Have a brick and mortar location -- retail store, clinic, hospital, etc.?

Advertising your Text-for-Jobs campaigns at the stores can be a powerful new source of pre-qualified candidates. 

There are several ways you can promote your campaign at your locations: 

Use simple, clear language like:
​
​"We're hiring! Text [KEYWORD] to 89743 to apply."
​

Text-for-Jobs can be an extremely powerful tool for hiring events and campus recruiting. 

Instead of having students fill out sign-up forms, let them engage with your interactive chatbot, which will gather their info and serve up relevant jobs to the candidate. 

Here are some creative ways our clients are enhancing their event strategy with Text-for-Jobs: 

And after the event has wrapped, you'll be able to easily take bulk action and text your candidates regarding next steps. 

Including your Text-for-Jobs campaign on job postings can be a powerful way to drive more traffic inbound. 

Simply add a line at the very top or bottom of your job posting that says something like this: 

"Text [KEYWORD] to 89743 to chat about open positions!"

PRO TIP: Adding it to the very top of your job posting will maximize visibility and convert more passive candidates.
​

Are you using your email to source talent? Adding your Text-for-Jobs campaign to the bottom of your email signature can be a great way to increase conversion. 

Simply add a line like the one below to the very bottom of your signature: 

"Want to chat about jobs at [company name]? Text [KEYWORD] to 89743 to chat about openings.
​

Highlighting Text-for-Job campaigns directly on your career site can drive a new source of passive candidates that isn't going to apply. People are much more likely to start a conversation via text message than they are to apply for a job.

PRO TIP: Advertise keywords like INTERNS on internship specific pages on the career site so the call-to-action is hyper relevant.

Opening a new office and need to get the word out? Having trouble staffing up key talent in a particular market? Advertising your Text-for-Jobs campaign via billboards and radio can be a great way to attract a whole new source of interested candidates that may not navigate to your career site and apply.
