JOB POSTINGS THAT WORK

WHY DO WE ADVERTISE OUR VACANCIES?

TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR THE RIGHT JOB.

TOO OFTEN, HOWEVER, JOB POSTINGS DON’T SELL JOBS.

THEY JUST LOOK SCARY.

THEY ARE LOADED WITH LOTS OF HR JARGON,

VAGUE JOB DESCRIPTIONS,

AND MAKE LITTLE EFFORT

TO SELL THE JOB OR DEPARTMENT.

THE RESULT?

MANY JOB POSTINGS SIMPLY FRIGHTEN AWAY

JOB-SEEKERS.

WITH SO MANY PEOPLE APPLYING FOR JOBS…

THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE A GOOD THING.

BUT ALL TOO OFTEN THIS ALSO SCARES OFF

THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB.

WHICH LEAVES YOUR HIRINGS MANAGERS REVIEWING…

…THE WRONG APPLICATIONS.

IF YOU’VE EVER HEARD A HIRING MANAGER SAY:

“I NEED BETTER CANDIDATES”

THEN IT MIGHT BE TIME

TO RE-EVALUATE YOUR JOB POSTINGS.

AND WHY. SO LET’S LOOK AT A JOB POSTING THAT WORKS.

SO LET’S LOOK AT A JOB POSTING THAT WORKS. AND WHY.

WHY DOES THIS WORK?

THE POSTING FOCUSES ATTENTION ON…

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE JOB…

THE SKILLS NECESSARY FOR THE JOB…

THE EXPERIENCE DESIRABLE FOR THE JOB….

A DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT…

AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO APPLY…

{AND AN ONLINE SURVEY TO SCREEN OUT CANDIDATES.}

IT’S SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT.

AND IT WORKS.

I HOPE YOU FIND THIS HELPFUL.

AND HELPS YOU RECRUIT BETTER CANDIDATES.

THANK YOU.
