3.Link to free resources
Who doesn’t love free stuff? Your audience will appreciate free resources, it could be an ebook, white papers, or other downloadable content.

If it’s an info ebook include a link to your site.
4. Highlight new team members
After posting a job listing, you will likely find the right candidate. Once you’ve found the right candidate(s), take it a step further and show them off to your audience. Let everyone know that you’re excited to have them on your team.
5. Company accomplishments
Believe it or not, your audience wants to see you succeed. Share your successes with them on social media and celebrate together. Let your audience know if you win an award or reach a particular milestone at your business such as X amount of years in business, X amount of orders or X amount of charitable giving.
