5 Key Tips for Multi-Channel Posting Success

It is important to create a strategy and make improvements. In this article, we will reveal five key tips for multi-channel posting success.

5 Multi-channel posting tips

1. Avoid the black box method

By utilizing the black box method, your job ad will be displayed on a huge number of job boards with just one click. This process sounds promising at first. However, you can't track which job sites the job ad is shown on. It is important to know where the qualitative applications are coming from. You shouldn't blindly post on multiple job boards, but rather analyze the success of each channel.

2. Use analytics to your advantage

Evaluating the channels where you are posting jobs is the only way to know which channels have brought qualitative applicants and are worthwhile for future recruitment. If you don't evaluate the channels, you won't have an understanding of which channels are working for which target groups and will have to start from scratch with each new position.
