The limitations of one person
A social media manager is only as good as their bandwidth. They can post a few times a day on one or two channels. In the competitive recruitment space, that is not enough to break through the noise. You are spending your budget on a person who is capped by their own capacity. You need to be thinking about how to reach more candidates without increasing your headcount. Your budget should go towards tools that multiply your impact.
Scaling with a content network
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This turns your content into a high-volume pipeline. It doesn't matter how many people you have on your team; the system handles the distribution for you.
Optimizing for candidate pipeline
Your pipeline is the lifeblood of your firm. You need a consistent stream of candidate interest. Using a network allows you to test many different hooks and messages across a wide array of pages. You learn faster and get more data than you ever could with a single social media manager. It is a more data-driven approach to marketing that gives you the insights you need to improve your results over time.
Strategic focus for CMOs
Stop worrying about who is posting your content and start worrying about how your content is distributed. By using a network like TIDE, you ensure that your brand is visible wherever your candidates are. It is a smarter, more scalable way to operate. As a CMO, you should be focused on building systems that work for you, not on managing people who perform manual tasks. Invest in the infrastructure of your distribution and watch your pipeline grow.
CMOs should leverage automated content networks to scale brand reach effectively instead of adding to their team headcount.
