@mypocketsocial

There are a plethora of content

discovery tools out there – you might a

be using a few to find content which

you can share to your followers and

attract candidates.

However, how often do the tools you

use recommend content which is

relevant to your industry or company?

@mypocketsocial

Instead of sifting through pages of

search results to find content, use a

tool which will recommend content

that’s actually relevant to you – and

anyone who might have the skills and

interest to work for your company.

share quality content about your industry. Summify

boring. Mix it up a little and share infographics which display

industry trends and news in visually stunning format. Trunk.ly

displays the most creative infographics – guaranteed to

Want to search for something more specific than a topic?

Trapit lets you search for keywords, and then finds content

for you which includes those keywords. Trapit is great if

you’re looking to find someone with a specific skill or

experience.

4 Addict-o-matic

This tool is a little bit less industry focused, but it makes up

for this by showing the hottest content for a specific

keyword or category. Addict-o-matic finds trending pictures,

articles, or videos from various websites and displays it all

on one page.

5 Headslinger

online sources. To find industry news, simply select news

websites relevant to your industry. For instance, if you’re a

recruiter working in fashion, then add fashion magazine

websites.

you come across online, for you to share later. This makes it

easier for you to save and share content in any format.

bit time-consuming, as it’s unlikely you’re going to want to

share every single article. EverPost makes content discovery

quicker by suggesting content that’s interesting to you and

your following.

8 LinkedIn Pulse

LinkedIn is an excellent medium for networking and hiring –

and finding content. LinkedIn pulse displays content which

people within your network have published. As people within

your network are likely to be working in the same company

or industry as you, you’re bound to find industry news from

people you trust.

9 Sharebloc

you ought to share in to help build your authority. Follow

influencers and professionals on Sharebloc to find news,

articles and trends about the your industry.

share stories about, such as business, tech and food. You
