The CV is now a very old fashioned way of understanding what personality and talents a candidate has – nowadays it’s all about Twitter feeds, Instagram photos and Pinterest boards. Pinterest boasts over 12 million users and (according to RJMetrics) is retaining and engaging users as much as 2 to 3 times as efficiently as Twitter was at a similar time in its history. The site is also responsible for sending more referral traffic to websites and blogs than Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn all combined – so could be a great source for initially attracting talent to your job spots.

New Position? New Board!

Pinterest users can create boards to organise their photos into different themes and events, so when you have a new job to fill – create a new board! Fill it up with ‘pins’ (which can be photos or videos) that explain your job in interesting ways – a good example is when Work Club were looking for a new Creative Director:

They used images and graphics from popular films (such as Jaws and Saving Private Ryan) as well as some of their own branding to tell a story of the job, instead of just one simple graphic full of words. You want a user to stumble across the board and have a something to follow – something that is interesting, amusing and trendy (trendy is what Pinterest is all about).

However, boards don’t have to just be used for jobs. You could create boards that show the perfect elements of an employee at your company (or the perfect elements that you want to see from a candidate), or a board that gives a photographic tour of your office, introduces the members of your team (or recruitment team – especially if people are going to be engaging with them during the process) – the possibilities are endless! Why not promote your company’s culture and values through Pinterest?
