The best LinkedIn #hashtags for your #MeetYourRecruiter posts
LinkedIn #hashtags to help your content be seen.
When someone you’re connected to on LinkedIn uses a hashtag you follow, you’re more likely to see their content.
So, when you make posts on LinkedIn, it makes sense to add some hashtags. But not just any hashtags, you want to add hashtags that are well followed, increasing the chances that your post will be put in front of as many people as possible.
This week is #MeetYourRecruiter week, so hopefully you’ll be making a post on LinkedIn each day. We wanted to help you out by sharing some of our recruitment-related hashtag research.
We looked at over 350 recruitment-related hashtags on LinkedIn to see which ones had the most followers. We’ve made a list of suggestions for each day this week to help you get your posts seen by as many people as possible.

Friday 13th October 2023 – Numbers
It’s Friday the 13th – something to be superstitious about, or not. That’s why we thought we would talk about numbers today.
Love them or hate them, numbers play a huge part in the recruitment process. Whether for measuring performance or making phone calls, we can’t manage without numbers.
Speaking of numbers, they are key to this hashtag research too.
If you’d like to contribute to this ongoing project, you can view our recruitment hashtag list here and send hashtag suggestions to Nicola.
