The short version
- A good hiring post names the job, the pay or pay range if you can, the schedule and one way to apply, in plain words.
- Describe the work and the crew, not a list of buzzwords. People want to know what the day looks like.
- Write about what the job needs, not who the person should be, so you don't shut out good applicants.
- Ask people to message you or call. Fewer steps means more replies.
- Share the post in local groups and ask your team to share it too.
Your best new hire might be a neighbor who follows your Facebook Page. But a post that says "We are hiring. Apply now." doesn't tell anyone what the job is.
These we're hiring post examples give you a template for 9 kinds of roles. Pick the one that fits, fill in the brackets and add a real photo of your crew.
What every hiring post needs
- The job title in plain words, in the first line.
- What the person will do on a normal day.
- The schedule: days, hours, full or part time.
- Pay or a pay range, if you can share it.
- One easy way to apply: message, call or a short form.
- A real photo of your crew, shop or truck.
Skip the long list of requirements. Name the 1 or 2 things that truly matter, like a driver's license or a food handler card, and say you'll train the rest. For other news, see Facebook announcement post examples.

A hiring post sits better on a Page that looks active. If your last post is months old, read how to restart a quiet Facebook Page first.
Make the post feel real
A stock photo of a handshake tells applicants nothing. A phone photo of your crew at the truck tells them plenty. See how to take good photos for your business page for easy ways to do it.
