Through various research projects, professionals have shown an interest in doing jobs that are completely detached from their current situation, always wondering what it would be like to exercise skills and opportunities that they do not have. So, what would the your ‘opposite job’ be?

Using data from the US Labor department, the New York Times have created an algorithm, one that tells us the exact opposite job to the one we are currently doing. Using the records, they drilled down into a variety of positions, figuring out what their polar opposites are; some of which are rather funny!

Below are some of our favourites:

The opposite job of an accountant is an agricultural grader.
The opposite job of a sales representative is a lumberjack.
The opposite job of an administrative assistant is a surgeon.
The opposite job of an architect is a slaughterer and meat packer.
The opposite job of a social worker is a model.
The opposite job of a truck driver is a physicist.
The opposite job of an electrician is a high school principal.
The opposite job of a computer engineer is a dry cleaner presser.
The opposite job of a machinist is a chief executive.
The opposite job of a film and video editor is a mobile home installer.

It is for the above reasons what we feel Facebook shouldn’t be ignored as a recruitment tool. For many people the platform represents family and friends, so there are some trust issues to overcome here. There are still numerous companies that ban Facebook in the workplace, though changes are happening.

So, why should Facebook be part of your 2018 resourcing strategy?

The Ability to Show Your Company’s Personality

Unlike any professional network platform, Facebook is first and foremost a social network. Facebook is doing everything it can to ensure that new feeds are focused on friends and family first, and any content from companies that users see, should inform or entertain in order to remain relevant and gain a wider reach.

However, Facebook is the platform for flexibility around how you deliver your content. Facebook allows you to convey your message as you want to, and show your company culture exactly how it is. This is a huge bonus, and something you certainly can’t gain from a standard job advert.

Reach Talent You Otherwise Wouldn’t

All candidate attraction methods have their limitations. However, Facebook has the average of 50 minutes of usage per day from more than 1.3 billion average daily user base. The people you want to hire will typically be there in a much higher volume and are more likely to see your content than on other platforms.

Optimisation

A brilliant feature of Facebook Ads is that it delivers it to the correct audience. For example, if you optimise for page likes, Facebook will serve your ads to the people within your selected audience it deems most likely to like your page. Ultimately, this gives you the opportunity to be as efficient with your delivery.

Conclusion

Using Facebook for recruitment gives you, the employer, a great deal of control over what type of content you use to attract people to your company. The flexibility and reach of this particular platform gives you a position to practice some effective advertising. If your company strives to use it properly and ethically, you are sure to see some great results!
