Social Media Posts Plans
We chatted to Civitas Recruitment CEO Syed Hussain about his experience working with 100 Pound Social.
Before signing up for the Posts Plan, Syed says Civitas Recruitment was managing its own social media in-house in an irregular manner.
“The first few years for a new company are all about growth, and while social media is important, my time was focused on business development,” he says.
Syed says as a new and growing business, Civitas Recruitment can’t do everything.
“I firmly believe in outsourcing work effectively. It’s important for consistency and saves my time to have someone competent do our social media.”
“LinkedIn is very important for us—I have more than 7500 connections there. It is important to engage with them from both a client and candidate perspective, and to demonstrate business-relevant industry knowledge.”
Syed signed up for 100 Pound Social’s Posts Plan, with regular posts each week to Civitas Recruitment’s LinkedIn page and Syed’s personal LinkedIn profile.
Every month a dedicated Content Creator and Editor craft bespoke posts for the company.
Aside from making a few ad hoc requests that have been actioned quickly, Syed says he now spends next to no time on Civitas Recruitment’s social media.
“I trust 100 Pound Social to get on with it. There’s no hand-holding needed.” he explains.
“My impression is that the team is savvy, and they use their common sense.”
Syed says with help from 100 Pound Social, Civitas Recruitment is able to keep in communication with its network on LinkedIn.
“It achieves consistency and quality—in the message, font, and imaging. Ultimately it saves me time, and my time is expensive.” he says.
“I would recommend 100 Pound Social to others who are looking to build engagement like I’m doing.”
In terms of the post content, Syed says he likes the inclusion of topical posts that position Civitas Recruitment as a knowledgable industry leader.
“I’m not just selling stuff—I’m providing good information which is what you need to do in an online community,” he says.
“The Content Creator has a good steer of topical HR, employment, and charity sector news. On LinkedIn, I can see how many people who saw an article clicked on it, and on a good post I can see that 400 people click on an article to read more.”
