Recruiters! Do you get frustrated when you are limited by
the images that you can use when posting blogs and job adverts? Are you worried about being sued for using
licenced images?
If you have seen my
infographic on Slideshare then you will know that the brain processes
images 60,000 times faster than text and that last year, the number of images
on the platform jumped by 53%! What is more, Tweets
with images receive 89% more favourites and 150% more retweets whilst
Facebook posts with images receive 87% of total interaction.
We are also rolling out some great training
for recruiters to pump up the volume on their adverts.
Thus, finding images that are royalty free is very important
as images are critical to your social success.
Don’t Get Sued – Get Seen
Copyright law is stricter than ever right now despite the
internet making images and ideas more accessible than ever before! Software exists to scan the web, look for
images which are being used illegally – no-one is safe!
Creative Commons
attempts to get around this as it allows people to grant access for the use of
content, both for private and commercial use. If you want to know more about
Creative Commons licences either click the previous link or watch this video!
Here are also a few sites with free will enable you to use
images for business use, which we at Barclay Jones use all the time:
Be sure to still check the licence though and make sure you
are being good boys and girls.
