Multichannel Distribution of Job Postings: Maximizing Your Listings’ Visibility

With Hiring Notes, each job posting is instantly relayed to a vast network of partner recruitment firms: as soon as a recruiter receives the listing, they publish it—on average—simultaneously on multiple job boards and sector-specific platforms, exponentially extending its initial reach without any extra effort on your part.

This collaborative mechanism ensures comprehensive market coverage, accelerates the discovery of qualified candidates, and centralizes all applications from these multiple channels in Hiring Notes for unified and transparent tracking.

Is multichannel distribution suitable for all companies?

No matter the size of your company, this approach is relevant:

• SMEs: immediate time savings and visibility.
• Corporate groups: consistent employer branding across multiple job boards.
• Start-ups: accelerated search for hard-to-find profiles.

Does multichannel distribution promote diversity? Yes: by exposing your listing to a variety of platforms, you reach complementary audiences.

How does multichannel distribution work?

The HR–Recruiter–ATS Trio

1. HR creates the job posting in their ATS (Applicant Tracking System).
2. The software automatically pushes the fields (title, description, location, salary).
3. The recruiter retrieves the listings they’re interested in from Hiring Notes and posts them on the chosen sites.
4. The applications return to the ATS and/or the recruiter for screening.
5. The recruiter anonymizes the resumes and sends them to you in Hiring Notes.

Best Practices to Optimize Your Distribution

Crafting a Listing That Attracts Top Talent

A clear headline makes all the difference: state the role title and location directly (e.g., “Full-Stack Developer – Lyon”). In one line, candidates know if it applies to them, boosting click-through rates and reducing drop-offs.

Follow with a candidate-oriented introduction. Briefly explain why this role is strategic: key missions, team impact, growth or transformation context. Speak their language and show how joining your company advances their career goals.

Then integrate your keywords (employment, recruitment, technology, industry sector) naturally: they improve visibility on internal site search engines and external search without hindering readability.

Don’t forget a strong call to action: place a “Apply Now” button or link prominently, ideally right after the mission section. Candidates should never search for how to apply—each lost second reduces conversion.

Aim for a concise format—300–500 words. A dense but airy text with short sentences reads quickly on mobile, encouraging candidates to move to the next step without overwhelming them.

Measuring Results & Adjusting Strategies

Once the posting is live, start by measuring your conversion rate: compare visits to the number of applications received. A large gap signals an issue with content or targeting.

Then analyze each site’s performance: identify those delivering the highest quality (relevant profiles, high response rates) rather than just volume.

Based on that, optimize your budget: reduce or close underperforming channels and reinvest in those that add value. This iterative approach protects resources and boosts ROI.

Also consider reactivating the posting: reposting after 30 days can renew visibility to new visitors without extra editorial effort.

Finally, track the impact on your time-to-hire and cost-per-hire. If multichannel distribution significantly shortens time-to-hire while maintaining quality, your adjustments pay off; if not, refine further.
