I’ve hired so many people off of social media. Examples of real pipelines that led to me hiring someone, some of these multiple times: 1) posted a Google form link on IG, TT, and LI, got 150 apps, hired someone that came from IG 2) tweeted something extremely niche on X, looked at who liked it, pinged one of the people based on their bio, hired him a few months later for my Amazon team 3) got a LI DM, the person was incredible but a better fit for a parallel team at Amazon, referred her, she was hired by that team 4) posted a job on IG story, someone shared it, I hired one of their friends 5) had a very niche job opening at Amazon, scrolled through LinkedIn bios, DMd/interviewed dozens, hired one Great hires can come from ANYWHERE—referrals, formal job postings, cold inbound resumes, headhunters/recruiters, niche boards, and yes, even your own inbox. Only using formal hiring channels is a dead strategy. It’s a great start, but it’s time to widen the scope.
At Cassidy, our best candidate pipeline is TikTok creators. (shoutout Jake Rosenthal) 😜
Obviously no hire on LinekdIn😀
Commenting for job. 😂 just kidding, great post, always enjoy your posts Allie
#2 is my favorite. Would love to hear that story
A few months ago I casually put something up on my personal FB profile saying I was hiring an Executive Assistant. I never expected anything close to the response I got. Two of my friends, who don't know each other and live in different states referred the same person to me and she lived in a different state than all of us! She is a rockstar and I just LOVE having her on my team! ❤️
Completely agree with you 100%! Personally, I’ve hired 3 men from the homeless shelter to do construction work and after 2 years they are still employed with me and are some of my best workers who are so greatful someone believed in them and gave them a chance. As owners we need to recognize that not everyone had the life we did and they didn’t have the opportunities we have. Its our responsibility as a society as a whole to not downcast people but to honestly provide them with mentorship, a chance for employment, learning and schooling if need be. This investment I find to be most profitable and successful because you have an employee that will give their best, love coming to work, be happy to be part of the “family” and dedicated to serve the “family” without complaints.

Allie thanks for showing this! Earlier in my career (actually before LinkedIn was what it is today) I got a job or two here. Times have changed just a bit since then, but thanks for giving me hope it could happen again! Cheers. P.S. I've been reading all your AI posts for months and just recently getting into learning some of the tools while navigating the job market. Thanks for sharing all the nuggets of info.

3wAnd is this post a teaser that I’m about to post another job opening on social media? Yes.
