Executive Summary
When you share a job post from PyjamaHR on social platforms like LinkedIn or Facebook, you may notice that the PyjamaHR logo appears instead of your company’s logo. This is due to how social sharing images and OpenGraph tags are configured for job postings powered by PyjamaHR. This article explains why this happens, how it impacts your employer branding, and what you can do about it—now and in the future.
Detailed Overview
What Are Social Sharing Images and OpenGraph Tags?
Social sharing images are the preview images that appear when you share a link on platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter. These images, along with the title and description, are controlled by OpenGraph tags—special metadata embedded in the job post’s web page.
How PyjamaHR Uses OpenGraph Tags:
- When a job is posted via PyjamaHR, the platform automatically sets the OpenGraph image to the PyjamaHR logo.
- This signals that the job application process is powered by PyjamaHR, but it does not mean PyjamaHR is the hiring company.
Why Does the PyjamaHR Logo Appear Instead of My Company Logo?
Default Branding: Currently, PyjamaHR sets its own logo as the default social sharing image for all job posts.
Platform Consistency: This helps candidates recognize the application platform and ensures a consistent experience.
Not Employer Branding: The logo does not indicate that PyjamaHR is the employer; it simply shows the job is hosted on PyjamaHR.
Business Impact
Candidate Perception: Some customers, like medical recruiters, have noted that this can confuse candidates or dilute their employer branding.
Brand Visibility: Other job platforms may use smaller or less prominent branding, which some customers prefer.
