Overview 

Social Distribution, a feature of iCIMS Applicant Tracking (ATS), is an all-in-one tool that powers social recruiting across networks at all levels, from corporate to individual, and leverages multiple social recruiting approaches. With Social Distribution, your organization has access to a microsite that provides an easy way for candidates to find jobs and engage with your company.

The Social Distribution microsite is typically accessed from the Job Openings tab of your company Facebook page. It can also be sent to connections via the link provided by the View Job Board popup accessed through the Social Distribution job library. 

Social Distribution allows admin users to add your organization’s logos to your company’s microsite, as well as links to your company’s other sites, social networks, and videos for maximum candidate engagement. These configurations can be updated by accessing Company > Company Branding from the menu bar. 

Important Note: Due to a change in Facebook policy, customers who have not activated the Job Openings tab on their company Facebook page prior to early 2018 may no longer enable this tab unless the page has more than 2,000 followers. Facebook no longer allows custom tabs to be added to company pages with fewer than 2,000 followers, including the Social Distribution Job tab.

Branding Jobs and Microsites

1. Select Company > Company Branding from the menu bar. 
2. Enter the URL for each of your company’s social media profiles and other sites in the fields within the Social Media Profiles section of the form. 
   • Tips:
     • Social media profiles display as linked icons on the right of the company microsite and allow candidates to engage with your company.
     • If an invalid URL is entered for any of the fields, an error will display and the user will be unable to save their Social Media Settings. 
     • Only one YouTube video can be included per Facebook page. The link must be a direct link to a specific video and not a general YouTube channel; a correct URL should include a video ID at the end (e.g.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPpfPjdy6Ng).
3. In the Branding Images section, use the Choose File (or Browse...) buttons to upload a company picture, job post header image and/or job board header image. Complete additional branding information in this section as needed. (Note: It is recommended that all fields are completed, but they can be left blank if necessary.)
   • Tip: Click the example link to launch a popup containing a sample job board and job page, demonstrating where the company picture, job post header image, and job board header image will display and their respective sizes. 

4. In the Share Images section, use the Choose File (or Browse...) buttons to upload the images that will accompany all of the company’s Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter shared job posts. Click the Save button to refresh the screen and confirm that the brand settings have been saved.  
   • Tip: All company branding images should be an appropriate size and type before uploading. Maximum size (in pixels) and acceptable file types are listed below the file upload field for each social media share image. (Note: Larger sized images will be scaled down, but smaller-sized images will not be scaled up.)

• Branding options are typically accessible only by admin users. Submit a case to iCIMS Technical Support if you would like to expand this ability to others, such as a marketing team.

• If your organization has only one Social Distribution account, you may only configure one global branding (even if you have multiple Facebook Company pages). If your company has multiple child companies, however, you can leverage multiple branding configurations. For more information, submit a case to iCIMS Technical Support.

Previewing Branded Job Postings and Microsites 

1. Access the Social Distribution job library by selecting Jobs from the menu bar. Then, select the View Job link below a job title to view the branded job posting for that job. 
2. The information entered on the company branding page will display as part of the job posting. Select the View All Jobs button to view the branding on the microsite. 

3. The branded company microsite will display similar to the image below and will include the current job openings, as well as the corporate branding and links to the company’s social media networks.
