Tips for Writing Effective Job Listing:
- Complete
the job listing fields. Completing all or most of the fields
in a job posting will help candidates know exactly what kind of
job you are hiring for. In addition, with candidates having the
ability to conduct very specific searches such as looking for a
job under a specific industry, salary range, educational requirement,
years of experience, skill set, etc., it will be prudent to enter
all these information.
-
Use important keywords.
Concentrate on utilizing keywords that are descriptive of the job.
Especially for online job searches, good use of keywords in describing
the job is the most important element in attracting the right candidates.
Without the right keywords, your job would nearly be impossible
to find.
- Be
descriptive.
Make sure that your job listing gives clear description of the role
and position available. The more descriptive you are with your job
listing the more you will get qualified and interested candidates.
- Specify
clearly your requirements.
It will encourage more quality responses from qualified candidates.
Plus, there will be some level of candidates self-selecting themselves
out of your position if you state required qualifications they do
not have.
-
Do not post discriminating requirements.
Employment discrimination on the basis of age, sex, religion, race,
color, disability or familial status is strictly prohibited by international
laws.
-
Properly merchandise your company and what it has to offer to the
candidate.
Project an attractive corporate image, one that is stable, caring
and fun to work for. and make your proposed compensations competitive
and fair. If you are looking for someone from an extremely competitive
industry, i.e., database programmers, make sure you fill out the
additional compensation/benefits fields. One of the fringe benefits
you offer just might help them choose you.
