R21Media’s Top 14 Legal Job Boards by Social Media Ranking Part III: Overall

Combining together the results of the Top 20 Accountancy recruitment agencies by Twitter and Facebook rankings, we are now able to see who the best performers in the sector are.*

1. SimplyLawJobs
2. Law Gazette
3. LegalWeekJobs
4. LawJobsUK
5. TotallyLegal
6. =The Lawyer
6. =LegalProspects
7. LawAndMore

9. 4LegalJobs, ChanceryLane, LawJobs.co.uk, LegalJobsBoard, LegalJobs.co.uk

There is little to comment on in terms of social media presence and performance because, as we have seen, the majority of legal job boards do not seem to be adopting social media as a marketing and recruiting platform.
 
The two clear leaders in this list are The Lawyer for their Twitter feed and the Law Gazette for their Facebook page. Job boards within this sector should look to these two as an example of best practice for building a solid online community.
 

* We are aware that the very popular professional networking platform of LinkedIn is missing, but unfortunately we are not able to measure a company’s performance via that channel in a straight forward and fair way.
