About us

Bristow & Hardy is a UK digital marketing agency that specialises in recruitment marketing. We help recruitment agencies and in-house recruitment teams build their brand, attract candidates and win new business.

The role

We're looking for a Social Media Executive to help create and deliver social media content for our recruitment clients. You'll work closely with our UK team, following content plans while bringing your own ideas to improve how posts perform.

What you'll be doing

• Creating content for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X
• Designing social media graphics in Canva Pro
• Writing captions and post copy in fluent English
• Making changes to content based on feedback and results
• Managing several client accounts and deadlines at once

What we're looking for

• Experience in a social media role
• Strong Canva skills and a good eye for design and branding
• Confident written English (a UK tone is a bonus)
• Experience creating LinkedIn content and at least one other platform
• Good organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to follow brand guidelines
• Experience with B2B or recruitment clients, or short-form video, would be a bonus

How we use AI

We're happy for you to use AI tools for research and ideas, but we don't want content that has clearly been created by AI. Our clients need copy that speaks directly to their audience and designs that feel original, so posts don't read like every other company using AI to write the whole thing. Please keep this in mind for the task below.

What we offer

• Up to $10 per hour, based on experience
• Fully remote working with consistent hours
• Clear processes and support from our UK team
• The chance to build your skills in recruitment marketing and multi-channel campaigns

Application task

Please create one LinkedIn post for Elevate Hospitality Staffing, a made-up client, about booking temporary hospitality staff ahead of a busy bank holiday or event period.

About the client: Elevate Hospitality Staffing provides temporary and relief hospitality staff across Northern Ireland. They support bars, restaurants, hotels, venues and events with reliable cover during busy periods, seasonal peaks and last-minute staff shortages.

Target audience: Hospitality business owners and operations, general, event, hotel, restaurant and bar managers across Northern Ireland.

Please include:

• A short LinkedIn caption written for hospitality managers who may be worried about being short-staffed during a busy period. It should be clear, professional and helpful, slightly urgent without being pushy, and written for business decision-makers rather than job seekers.
• Either a single-image graphic or a 3-slide carousel that feels right for the hospitality industry, is easy to take in quickly on LinkedIn, and doesn't look generic, cluttered or too corporate. Please send it as a Canva link, PDF, PNG or JPG.

Brand guidance: Use the company name as a wordmark logo, with navy, cream and warm gold as brand colours and a clean, modern font. The style should be polished and hospitality-focused, with imagery of hotels, restaurants, events, service teams or busy venues.

What we'll be looking at: How well you understand the audience, how natural your copy reads, whether the design suits the hospitality sector, what you choose to put in the caption versus the graphic, and your attention to detail.
