Instagram has one billion active users worldwide. Facebook boasts 2.85 billion. With really impressive conversion rates, sharing job posts on social has never been more critical. How to know if you should choose Facebook, Instagram, or simply post to both? Check to see where your current ideal employees are spending their time online.

Utilize The Job Postings Section
Job postings appear on and link to your Facebook business Page. It’s a great tool, because potential employees have the chance to learn more about your business and the job opportunity before applying, ensuring you get informed job applicants. Once you have completed creating the job posting, you can run the post as an ad with a range of budgets.
Creating a targeted ad:
Facebook owns Instagram, and it runs on the same advertising platform. That means you can build super-targeted custom audiences and only share your job listing with those ideal matches, getting your posts in front of suitable candidates. You can target with the following, as well as plenty of other demographic filters:
- Location
- Job title
- Current or past employers
