What is Social Selection?
Social Selection is a proactive service where we can help you find, target and engage with both passive and active candidates in online social spaces.
People reveal valuable work experience online, which allows our expert team to search for excellent candidates that would be a perfect fit for your opportunity.
Using a powerful, data science-led search program, we identify potential candidates based on their professional background and experience, location, job title and industry sector.
Once identified, our team will contact potential candidates on your behalf, encouraging them to find out more about your opportunity and apply.
Our Approach
What challenges are you facing?
Do you find yourself re-running your ad again and again? Maybe you’re not getting enough high-quality, qualified applicants? Our search methods meticulously identify specific qualities within a candidate’s skill-set, which allows us to make more informed selections for your role.
Reaching passive candidates is key
Passive candidates – that is, those who aren’t actively searching for a job but would still be interested in your opportunity – account for an enormous segment of job seekers and mustn’t be overlooked. In fact, according to LinkedIn, 70% of the global workforce is made up of passive talent.
By combining Social Selection with job boards, you will be able to target a balance of active and passive candidates, meaning you’re ticking every box.
Identifying alternative job titles
While there are some very generic and easily recognisable job titles, there are often company-specific job titles that are unique to your business. We can use a huge variety of job titles in our search function to target roles of similar spec, making sure that no one is missed from our candidate search.
Locations
Whatever is happening in the world and no matter what your business requires, we can put you in contact with the right people, wherever you need them. Detailing multiple locations in our targeted approach will increase the odds of finding that perfect candidate.
Whether you’re looking to hire in the UK or overseas, we can help. Our methods transcend borders.
Remote working
Since 2020, working from home has rapidly become the norm – and the expectation that companies will have a hybrid or remote model in place isn’t going anywhere. Flexibility not only benefits your staff but means you can attract top talent from anywhere.
Our Social Selection service will allow you to reach talented individuals in specified key locations, and if you’re looking to run a UK-wide campaign, we can boost your Social Selection campaign with hyper-targeted social media ads.
The Human Touch
We personalise the message
The trick here is to create intrigue. We handpick candidates and personalise the copy to provoke interest and create a buzz around the role. This, in turn, increases the chance that they will reply, click the link, and apply for the position.
Open and authentic conversations
This is the difference between an ad and Social Selection. An advert only goes as far as the initial message, whereas we encourage an informative conversation – with our team, not an automated chatbot – to sell your role to a host of perfectly experienced candidates that are derived from our considered search methods.
Candidates can also offer valuable feedback, which gives you greater insight into your recruitment processes.
We manage responses on your behalf, ensuring we share comments, feedback and insights with you during the process, keeping you well informed.
Tailored Packages
Pay per reach (PPR)
We know it can be time-consuming and frustrating to continually receive applications from candidates who are poorly suited to your vacancies.
Using our PPR service on an ad-hoc basis allows you to select the number of potential candidates you’d like us to contact.
Pay per month (PPM)
Ideal for recruiters that know that they will have a considerable number of roles to fill, our PPM service provides you with the assurance that you are reaching the best possible talent whilst never going over your budget.
Packages are available for 3, 6 and 12 months and are tailored to match your requirements.
