Here are some useful pointers to get you started on your recruitment journey.
- Think about the job title. Job search algorithms pick up significant keywords, so keep your title relevant and meaningful and relatable to the job. Avoid abbreviations and internal terms and phrases as it will limit your market.
- Review the job description; does it make sense? Does it explain what the job involves and what a typical day in the life of someone in this role would be like.
- Think about who your target audience is, what skills and attributes are important for the candidate to have.
- Write an attention-grabbing advert. This is your opportunity to sell your vacancy to the candidates that you want to apply. Include the top 5 priorities for job seekers:
- Salary and remuneration
- Location and commute
- Work-life Balance
- Benefits
- Career advancement opportunities
- Include if the job offers flexible working opportunities to help employees to achieve a better work-life balance through enabling greater flexibility as to when, how and where they work.
