Posting a job listing on Facebook can be a great way to find local talent.

While Facebook certainly wasn’t always a place people thought of as useful for hiring people, it’s completely possible and in several ways quite advantageous to post jobs on Facebook. Facebook job posts can make finding qualified job applicants easier, so long as you’re doing it properly.

The first step to creating a successful Facebook job post is going to your Facebook business page and clicking on “write a post” near the top of the page. From here, you just need to click “job” in order to bring up the interface to create a job post. This step is the most simple, as all you’ll need to do is fill in the basic details of the job you’re hiring for. These details will include only the basic things you’d expect from a job post such as the job title, location, and salary range. As you fill in these details, the preview of the post on the right should automatically update itself. After everything is filled in, just double check the post and click “publish job post.”

A Facebook job post is active for 30 days after submission, at which point it will automatically expire. If you post a job and need to make any changes, you can edit or renew any post after it’s been published. The only catch is you need to make sure your posts comply with Facebook’s rules. If your job post doesn’t have anything to do with sensitive topics such as gambling, there shouldn’t ever be any serious complications.
