If you’re hiring and want to expand your reach, Facebook Jobs is a powerful and free tool. But simply posting a job to your page isn’t always enough. The real power comes when you share your job post in relevant Facebook Groups where active job seekers are spending their time.
This guide will walk you step-by-step through how to post a job on Facebook and effectively share it to increase visibility and attract top talent.
Why Use Facebook Jobs?
Facebook isn’t just for socializing, it’s a massive platform where job seekers are actively looking. In fact, Facebook’s job posting tool helps you:
-
Reach both passive and active candidates
-
Share jobs across social channels
-
Increase applicant volume quickly
Now, let’s take your job post further by sharing it in Facebook Groups.
Step-by-Step: How to Post a Job on Facebook and Share It in Groups
1. Research Relevant Facebook Groups
Before sharing, find the right audience. Ask yourself:
-
Who are you hiring? (e.g., nurses, welders, forklift operators)
-
What are they looking for? (job listings, tips, networking)
-
Where are they located? (target specific cities, counties, or states)
Search terms to try in Facebook:
-
Florida Manufacturing Jobs
-
Healthcare Jobs – New York
-
Erie County Employment Opportunities
-
IT Jobs Network USA
2. Join the Groups
Once you’ve found relevant groups:
-
Click Join Group
-
Answer any entrance questions honestly and clearly
-
Wait for approval (some are instant, others take a day or two)
3. Post the job on your company’s Facebook page.
To post a job on Facebook, complete the following steps.
- Select “Jobs” on your company’s Facebook page;
- Click “Publish Job Post,”
- Fill out the job’s relevant information;
- Add prescreening strategies; and
- Select “Publish Job Post.”
4. Share the Job in Facebook Groups
After your post goes live:
-
Click “Share Job Post”
-
In the dropdown, choose “Share in a Group”
-
Select the relevant Facebook Group
-
Add a short, clear message (ex: “We’re hiring! Immediate openings in [City] – Apply today.”)
-
Include a link to your job board and contact info (optional but recommended)
-
Hit Post
Repeat for each group — but avoid spamming. Tailor your message slightly to each group’s audience.
