Caroline & Phil’s social media strategy for the Robert Walters Group earned us the accolade as a Top 3 Most Socially Engaged Recruiter on LinkedIn for three years running.
The accolade is awarded to recruitment companies who have built strong social engagement strategies and is based on interactions with LinkedIn’s 500 million members. More specifically, the ranking takes into account social reach, employee engagement, talent brand and content marketing power compared to competitor recruitment firms with over 500 employees.
We went from a standing start, with little social engagement and used a smart content-focused strategy to grow both reach and engagement. With a small budget, this achievement reflected our ability to integrate social media into a business, harnessing the power of LinkedIn. It also demonstrates our strength in sharing high quality, useful content which staff and followers engaged with and shared with their networks.
The list is based on extensive analysis of the interactions between over 60,000 staffing firms, 627,000 consultants, and LinkedIn’s 500 million members.
“We were so proud to be ranked within the top 3 Most Socially Engaged recruitment consultancies on LinkedIn. Achieving this for three years running was a career highlight and testament to our belief in content driven strategy.”
Caroline Watkin, Co-founder, 300
