Synergy of HR & Marketing: The Power of Career Pages
In today's competitive job market, the collaboration between HR and Marketing is more critical than ever. A strategically designed career page can significantly enhance your employer branding and recruitment efforts. Based on insights from our recent webinar, let’s delve into why having a dedicated career page is vital and how HR and marketing synergy can amplify your brand.
Why Separate Career Pages?
Having a separate career page from your main marketing site offers numerous benefits. Here’s why:
1. Targeted Audience
A dedicated career page ensures you are reaching individuals who are specifically interested in job opportunities. Unlike a general marketing page, a career page attracts followers who are potential candidates, thus enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of your recruitment content.
2. Streamlined Communication
A career page allows job seekers to easily find information about open positions, application processes, and company culture. This streamlined communication makes it simpler for candidates to engage with your brand and apply for roles.
3. Showcasing Company Culture
A career page is an excellent platform to highlight your company’s culture, values, and workplace environment. Sharing employee testimonials, workplace achievements, and company events can give potential candidates a realistic insight into what it's like to work at your company.
4. Improved SEO and Reach
Optimising your career page with relevant keywords can improve your search engine rankings, making it easier for candidates to find your job listings. Additionally, promoting your career page on job boards and career-focused platforms can expand your recruitment reach.
The Power of Social Media in Recruitment
Our survey of over 1,050 respondents revealed that job seekers predominantly follow career pages on Instagram and LinkedIn. Here are some key trends and strategies to leverage these platforms:
1. Detailed Job Listings
Post detailed and visually appealing job listings with clear role descriptions, requirements, and benefits. Use visuals and videos to highlight key roles and urgent openings.
2. Employee Stories
Share stories from current employees about their experiences and career growth. Employee testimonials serve as powerful endorsements of your company culture and values.
3. Celebrate Achievements
Celebrate employee milestones and achievements. Highlighting anniversaries and successes fosters a sense of community and showcases long-term employee satisfaction.
1. Engaging Reels
Use short, engaging videos (Reels) to highlight your company culture, employee experiences, and job vacancies. Fun and creative content can capture the attention of potential candidates.
2. Daily Life Insights
Share glimpses into daily life at your company. Behind-the-scenes content, team activities, and workplace events provide a more personal and relatable view of your company.

Offer tips on how to apply for vacancies and internships. Providing guidance on the application process can encourage more candidates to apply and help them feel more confident.
Creating Effective Content
Effective content creation for your career page requires a collaborative effort:
Involve Employees
Engage your employees in creating content. Employee-generated content, such as interviews and office tours, adds authenticity and relatability to your career page. See Ukrainian cultural day (International Vyshyvanka Day) at BAT Ukraine.
Leverage Professional Expertise
Partner with an agency to develop a comprehensive content strategy, create high-quality visuals and videos, and manage targeted campaigns to attract the right audience.
Synergy with Marketing
Work closely with your marketing team to ensure consistency in branding and messaging. This collaboration can help you create a cohesive and compelling employer brand.
Final Thoughts
To maximise the impact of your employer branding efforts, it's essential to take action. Analyse your current social media presence, collaborate with your marketing team, and consider opening a separate career page if you haven't already. Engaging with professionals can further enhance your strategy and execution.
