5 Reasons Your Job Ads Aren’t Working and Ways to Fix Them

Poor job descriptions don’t have to be a necessary evil. They flood you with unqualified resumes and waste your time and budget.  Done right, they can help turn a job ad from post and pray to post and prey.

With the right job ad strategy, you can snag passive job seekers. Try and target top talent by standing out as an employer of choice. Convey your company culture and set realistic candidate expectations.  What about working at your company are  you really all about?  Keeping it real means not only recruiting the right talent, but retaining it, too. However difficult it may seem, it’s not.  Although many recruiters aren’t great with job descriptions, they can be of some help.

Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll get from this webinar recording:

• Optimize your job ads by choosing the right titles. Keywords and distribution channels help find the talent you’re looking for. We’ll look at processes and best practices for improving the quality of your applicants.  Make extending and accepting offers more efficient.
