How is a Facebook job ad structured?
A Facebook post usually consists of an image or video, a short text and a button that links to your desired URL. The information overload on social media is great and the attention span is therefore very low at less than 3 seconds per post. For this reason, it is important to attract the attention of the target group with your job advertisement!
-
The principle “less is more” applies.
-
The picture should not be packed with a lot of information. A photo with a small text box and the company logo are sufficient. The 1x1 image format (1000x1000 pixels) works on Facebook and Instagram.
-
The text should be short and concise and contain all relevant information at a glance.
Important:The information should not be repeated. For example, if you have already noted the job title in the image, you do not need to mention it again in the text.
Here is an example of a Facebook job ad:

How do you publish your job ad to the right target group of applicants?
To do this, we must first clarify what the difference is between a paid and an unpaid oneJob posting on Facebookis.
-
Unpaid job posting on Facebook
With an unpaid job ad, you can reach more people who have subscribed to your company page or marked it with a "Like". As a rule, the reach of unpaid job advertisements is very limited.
-
Paid job posting on Facebook
A paid or advertised job ad, on the other hand, reaches a much larger applicant audience.
You determine a target group with the type of people who fit your job offer. Depending on the size of your budget, you will reach more or fewer potential applicants accordingly.
Here is an example for better understanding:
Your company maintains a page on Facebook. 1,000 people have subscribed to your business page. You post a job ad on your Facebook timeline (unpaid). In this scenario, you reach your 1,000 subscribers. However, it is unclear how many people are actually interested in your job offer, since you have no precise information (interests, surfing behavior, etc.) about your subscribers.
When you post a job aboutkrootpublish, you can reach around 10,000 people with the smallest reach package. Compared to the above example, you will reach 10 times the number of potential applicants.
Another advantage is that the 10,000 people are selected based on interests and surfing behavior. For example, if you are looking for a Marketing Manager (m/f/d), your ad will only be shown to people who match this job offer.
