About the Role

HireFrontier is looking for a creative, culturally aware, and results-driven Social Media Specialist to lead our always-on social media strategy and content execution while strengthening our employer brand across multiple digital platforms. This role will also support the Digital Marketing Lead with recruitment marketing initiatives, website content, campaign coordination, and strategic partnerships that help attract top talent and connect employers with exceptional candidates.

  • Produce on-site Reels, Stories, TikToks, LinkedIn updates, interviews, and live content with same-day publishing whenever possible.

  • Prepare content plans, interview questions, and shot lists before each event while collaborating with recruiters, hiring managers, and external content creators.

  • Capture authentic behind-the-scenes moments that highlight HireFrontier's company culture, client partnerships, candidate success stories, and recruitment expertise.

Influencer & Brand Partnership Management

  • Manage relationships with career influencers, industry experts, professional creators, and employer branding ambassadors from initial outreach through campaign reporting.

  • Create detailed creative briefs for videographers, photographers, designers, content creators, and freelance partners that clearly communicate campaign objectives and brand standards.

  • Coordinate production schedules while overseeing creative projects from planning and filming through final content delivery.

  • Build and maintain an active network of professional creators while managing collaboration agreements, sponsored partnerships, promotional campaigns, and compliance requirements.

Community Management & Performance Analytics

  • Monitor and respond promptly to comments, direct messages, job-related inquiries, and company mentions while maintaining a professional and engaging brand voice.

  • Actively engage with job seekers, employers, industry professionals, user-generated content, and community discussions to increase visibility and audience growth.

  • Track and analyze key performance indicators including reach, impressions, engagement rate, clicks, follower growth, video performance, applications generated, and lead conversions.

  • Prepare monthly performance reports with actionable recommendations to improve campaign effectiveness and audience engagement.

Digital Marketing Support & Vendor Coordination

  • Support the Digital Marketing Lead with recruitment marketing campaigns across the company website, job boards, email marketing, CRM platforms, applicant tracking systems, and digital advertising channels.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for marketing vendors, creative agencies, media partners, and technology providers to ensure projects are delivered on schedule.

  • Coordinate digital assets, campaign materials, promotional calendars, landing pages, employer branding content, and website updates while ensuring brand consistency across all platforms.

  • Assist with website content management, recruitment landing pages, and promotional initiatives that improve candidate experience and client engagement.
