Workable displays a default "We're Hiring" image when you share direct links to your jobs on social media. In this example, a hiring manager has shared a link to their job on their personal LinkedIn feed:
If you prefer, you can use a custom image when sharing direct links to your job. For example, you may prefer to use your organization's logo or a picture of your employees. Only one image can be used at a time and will apply to all job links.
Adding your own image
Follow these steps to change the social media sharing image:
- Navigate to the Company Profile section of your account
- Scroll to the Social Sharing Details section
- Upload an image or drag and drop in the section
- Click Save changes to finalize the selection
If you've already shared links and you change the image, those social posts will update automatically with the new image, but this is not immediate and may take a few days.
You can revert to the original "We're hiring" image anytime by removing the uploaded file from the X button.
Recommended image dimensions
We recommend using an image of 1200x1200 pixels (1:1 aspect ratio). To avoid parts of the image being automatically cropped, be sure to keep key details centered.
X, for example, will display the image as a square. LinkedIn will display the image as a rectangle. In the example below, the part of the image highlighted in white is what would appear in a LinkedIn post.
If you want to use the template below to help you adjust the placement of your image, right-click on the image below to save it to your device and edit it yourself or provide it to your design team to help them further.
Including a description
When adding an image, you'll also find a field to add a brief description to go along with the image. The recommended length is 100-110 characters. This description can appear when sharing the link to your Workable careers page. Whether the description appears or not depends on the website where you share the link.
The custom description will appear when sharing a link to your careers page.
The beginning of the job description will appear when sharing a direct link to that job.
Clearing the image cache
After updating your image, social sites can take a few days to register the new image. This will happen automatically for all your shared links and doesn't require any further action from you.
However, if you'd like to share posts with the new image immediately after uploading a new image in Workable, follow the instructions below for the sites where you wish to post.
