Add Facebook to your Recruitment Website

This section deals with how to enhance your recruitment website by adding Facebook plugins. In other words, this means you can add Facebook functionality to your recruitment web pages.

We will deal with how to add a:

• Facebook Like Button.
• Facebook Share Button.
• Facebook Page.

Social media tools and Facebook in particular can have a positive impact on the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) performance of your recruitment website and we have explained how to use social media for SEO in more detail on another web page.

When it comes to adding social media functionality to your job site, perhaps Facebook offers the greatest potential (when compared with Twitter, Google Plus, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube or LinkedIn) because of the range and scope of the social plugins they offer, and you can also factor in the huge number of users signed up to the world's largest social media platform.

At its simplest, you can consider adding a Like Button or a Share Button to any pages on your job site:
