Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Use with Twitter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Schedule tweets to go out at optimum times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- View multiple Twitter feeds from one dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Manage more than one Twitter account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

TweetDeck for recruitment agencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When trying to develop a strong social media presence, it can be best to focus on one platform first \u2013 rather than spreading yourself thinly across two or three. This will make it easier to build a following on other networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many, Twitter is the place to start, which means there\u2019s only really one platform to turn to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TweetDeck allows recruiters to do a whole range of things \u2013 from social listening to seeing how much interaction a job advert is getting. It\u2019s ideal for interacting with candidates and basically just helps you get the most out of Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, with less than half of UK recruiters utilising Twitter (an Agency Central survey told us that LinkedIn is the most popular network for recruiters<\/a>), TweetDeck can establish your agency as an industry influencer in a larger, but less competitive space.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe best thing, though? It\u2019s absolutely free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nBuffer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Buffer<\/a> is one of the most popular management platforms in the market \u2013 and it\u2019s not hard to see why. It\u2019s user-friendly, easy on the eye and arguably the best tool for scheduling. It isn\u2019t feature rich, but it\u2019s great at what it does. It also has a free (albeit limited) plan, so you can try before you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Use with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram. Pinterest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Manage multiple social platforms from one place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create a posting schedule and queue posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Schedule content straight from your browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Add team members and set permissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create analytic reports for managers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Buffer for recruitment agencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Building an online brand requires consistency and time. This is typically in short supply for recruiters, but Buffer can ensure that your agency\u2019s social media account doesn\u2019t fall dormant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a scheduling tool, Buffer may be the best there is. As well as setting individual times for posts to go out, you can create a posting schedule and queue posts straight from your browser (great for when you come across something interesting online). Oh, and it also has a dedicated app, which makes scheduling on the go even easier.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBut why is this so important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before deciding to make contact, there\u2019s a fair chance employers will check your social media feeds to make sure you\u2019re active. Infrequent posting can be a turnoff, as can inconsistency over tone or content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With many recruitment agencies being sporadic in their social media use, using something like Buffer can really set you apart from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nAgorapulse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Agorapulse<\/a> is a feature-rich piece of software that will enable your agency to embrace social listening, engagement and branding. The price is probably its biggest selling point. The different plans on offer are a fraction of the cost of some of the better-known platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Use with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Upload content and posts en masse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Manage Facebook ads comments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Profile followers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Respond easily to messages with Inbox Zero.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Automatically re-queue tweets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, Hootsuite gives you a full arsenal of features, ensuring that you\u2019ll never miss an opportunity to engage with leads or manage your agency\u2019s brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CrowdControlHQ for recruitment agencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Crowd Control is a good all-rounder and recruitment agencies can use it to social listen, target particular audiences and develop a super social brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we asked how a tool like this could specifically benefit recruitment agencies, Dan Aston, Marketing Manager at CrowdControlHQ, told us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSocial media is a great enabler for agencies and recruiters to build real relationships with both clients and candidates, and reach people at a scale that\u2019s just not possible with other channels. It is the starting point for today\u2019s professionals when it comes to exploring for new career opportunities \u2013 just look at the huge popularity of LinkedIn for example, and the importance of having an active and up-to-date presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social media tools like CrowdControlHQ allow you to share posts such as job roles that are targeted to users located in a specific geographic region, have a certain interest, or other relevant demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social listening is another powerful feature that allows agencies to monitor social conversations for any mention of a specific keyword or phrase, and then join in those conversations to share relevant information or answer questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
