Detailed Overview

What Are Social-Media Share Links?
Social-media share links are unique URLs generated by PyjamaHR for each job posting. When shared, these links direct candidates to your job listing on your PyjamaHR careers page. They can be posted on social media, sent via email, or shared in messaging apps to boost visibility and attract more applicants.

When and Why to Use Them:
- Promote urgent or high-priority roles to a broad audience quickly.
- Leverage your network by encouraging employees and contacts to share job links.
- Track applicant sources using UTM parameters included in the links.

Integration with PyjamaHR:
- Links are generated from the job posting interface.
- Applications received via these links are tracked in your PyjamaHR dashboard.
- Works seamlessly with your branded careers page.

Business Impact:
- Increases reach and application volume.
- Enables data-driven recruitment marketing.
- Reduces time-to-hire for critical roles.

Prerequisites

You must have a published job on PyjamaHR.
Access to the job posting in your PyjamaHR dashboard.

Steps

Navigate to Your Job Posting
- Go to the Jobs section in your PyjamaHR dashboard.
- Click on the job you want to promote.
Locate the Share Link
- On the job details page, find the Share or Promote button (usually near the top-right or under the job title).
- Click to reveal sharing options.
Copy the Social-Media Share Link
- Click Copy Link to copy the unique job URL (e.g.,
https://app.pyjamahr.com/careers?company=talentbasket&job_id=258915&company_uuid=74403D5D74&utm_medium=internal&shared_at=1752559801746).
- [Screenshot suggestion: Highlight the Share/Copy Link button and the URL field.]
Share on Social Media
- Paste the link into your desired social media platform (LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.).
- Add a custom message to attract candidates.
Monitor Applications
- Track applicants from these links in your PyjamaHR dashboard under the job’s applicant source analytics.

Some versions may offer direct share buttons for platforms like LinkedIn or Facebook. Click the relevant icon to share instantly.

Advanced Usage & Best Practices

Use UTM Parameters:
PyjamaHR links include UTM parameters (e.g., utm_medium=internal) to help you track where applicants are coming from.
Encourage Employee Advocacy:
Ask your team to share the job link in their networks for greater reach.
Customize Your Message:
When posting, add a compelling description or call-to-action to increase engagement.
Monitor Link Performance:
Regularly check applicant source data in PyjamaHR to see which platforms drive the most applications.
Avoid Link Duplication:
Only copy the link once—pasting multiple links together (as seen in the customer example) can break the URL.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

Common Problems

1. Link Not Working / “Not Accepting” Error
- Cause: The job may be unpublished, expired, or the link is malformed (e.g., two links pasted together).
- Solution:
- Verify the job is still published and accepting applications.
- Ensure you are copying only the single, complete URL.
- Test the link in an incognito browser window.

2. No Applications Received

- Solution:
- Double-check that the job is live and public.
- Share the link across multiple channels.

3. Link Shows “Not Accepting”
- Cause: The job may have been closed or set to stop accepting applications.
- Solution:
- Reopen the job in PyjamaHR if you want to continue accepting applications.

4. Pasting Multiple Links Together
- Cause: Copying and pasting more than one link at a time.
