IT staffing and contract hiring firms · Social media

Post the real role, the real process and the recruiter people can call.

Social media marketing for an IT staffing firm is the use of LinkedIn and other channels to show open roles to candidates and the hiring process to companies. GullySales works on profiles, posts and the consent rules that apply to both sides.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Recruitment colleagues discussing candidate requirements and interview notes

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For IT staffing and contract hiring firms

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Candidates read the recruiter's profile first”

    An engineer checks who is writing before replying. A profile that names the roles and shows the recruiter's work history earns more trust than a company logo.

  • “Posting a role without the client breaks agreements”

    A role posted with the client's name may breach the vendor agreement. Describe the client by sector and size unless permission is on paper.

  • “Hiring managers watch how a firm talks about candidates”

    A post that boasts of a placement and names the person raises doubts about how the firm treats candidate data.

  • “Vague posts attract the wrong replies”

    A post saying we are hiring brings every kind of reply. State the skill, location and work mode so the right people respond.

What we do

What we deliver for IT staffing and contract hiring firms.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A profile standard for recruiters

    Headline, photo, roles handled and a short description of how the recruiter works, agreed across the team.

    Result: Candidates see a consistent, credible profile.

  2. A role-post format

    Skill, experience band, location, work mode and client type, with the contact route.

    Result: Posts draw suitable replies.

  3. A rule for naming clients and candidates

    What may be named, with what consent, and what stays private.

    Result: No client or candidate is named without permission.

  4. Hiring-manager posts

    Short notes on notice periods, interview steps and what profile quality means.

    Result: Hiring managers see how the firm works.

  5. A reply routine

    Who answers messages on the company page, in what format, and how they move into the record.

    Result: Replies are not lost.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which platform matters for IT staffing?
LinkedIn for both companies and engineers, and WhatsApp for candidates already in conversation. Other channels matter only if you can show your candidates are there.
Can recruiters post on personal profiles?
Yes, and it is where candidates look. Set a short standard for what may be posted and what may not, including client names and candidate details.
Should we post candidate success stories?
Only with the candidate's written consent, and without client details the agreement forbids. A description of the process serves better than a named person.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
