EP 9 | How to Write a Job Posting That Attracts the Best Candidates
Here’s what to expect from this episode:
When it comes to hiring in this competitive market, an old-school job description that’s overly technical and boring isn’t going to cut it. Writing a job description isn't just about describing the job itself. It's about selling your company and the position to your ideal candidate. In this episode, I’ll teach you how to immediately grab your perfect candidate’s attention and craft the must-have parts of your job posting to stand out.
This is the second episode in a series entitled How to Hire the Perfect Marketer. If you haven't listened to Episode 8, I suggest you start there and then come back to this one. This episode focuses on the second hiring process step: creating a job description that attracts the right marketer.
Topics covered:
- The cost of hiring mistakes
- Why your job description is actually marketing copy
- How to write a lead that hooks your ideal candidate and draws them in
- The impact of “big picture” thinking when it comes to job requirements and qualifications
- A hiring trend that will widen your applicant pool
- The one thing most job postings don’t include but should
If you're ready to create a description or job posting (which is not your first step!), you should start with a strong lead that oozes personality. I'm so excited for you to start attracting candidates who share your passion for what you do. Have you ever struggled with writing effective job descriptions?
