First, let’s look at your Salon’s Digital Presence
How your salon brand presents itself digitally has become paramount in attracting fresh clientele and recruiting skilled team members. Considering the appearance of your salon's social media platforms and website, take a moment to reflect: Would you personally be enticed to receive hair services at this establishment? Alternatively, from a stylist's perspective, would you be inclined to seek employment here?
To thoroughly assess your salon's digital presence, we invite you to download our comprehensive Salon Digital Audit. This audit will guide you in evaluating your online platforms through the eyes of a potential guest or applicant, enabling us to ascertain whether our salon is effectively appealing to both clients and professionals.

Tell your Salon’s Story on Social
Attracting new talent and engaging with potential recruits should be at the forefront of your salon's social media strategy. With our guidance, you can consistently share captivating "Now Hiring" videos on your salon's social channels.
We provide a customized recruitment video template that allows you to create your own compelling content. Please note that a professional Canva account is required for access, but we highly recommend investing in this invaluable tool for your salon. To further support your recruitment efforts, we have also prepared a collection of customizable "Now Hiring" posts. These posts can be easily personalized and shared on your social media platforms.
To maximize your outreach, we encourage you to engage with Institute Graduate on Be Matched Instagram. By following their account and actively interacting with their content, you ensure that your salon's name remains top of mind for other graduates engaging with the Be Matched platform.
Building a strong online presence and leveraging these resources will help your salon attract top talent and establish itself as a sought-after destination within the industry.
