In this article, we are highlighting actionable job posting best practices for recruitment along with funnel optimization tips. You’ve just received a new job order and it’s time to get busy recruiting the best candidates. But first, you need to make that job posting work for you. How to Build a Job Posting that Attracts More Candidates Step 1: Write Your Job Posting for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) (and for Humans) Before you can start the sequence of posting your job, you need to make sure the post will be seen and is relevant to potential candidates. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) includes using keywords and phrases that enhance your job postings discoverability to candidates searching for jobs on Google and other popular search engines. Additionally, ensuring your site is indexed and search-friendly will help your job postings rank higher in search results. Most importantly, you want to make sure that your job postings are using the structure data fields that Google for Jobs recommends. Not sure what to include in your job posting description? Check out these 5 quick tips to maximize the response rate (and your time). Keep it Short and Simple People typically skim, so stick to the important details like a quick overview, the responsibilities, and required skills or credentials. Include the Salary or Pay Rate Job postings that include a salary range got 75% more clicks than those that did not, according to G2 stats. Build Excitement and Interest Put yourself in the shoes of the candidate. What details about the position or the company would interest you? What makes your position stand out? Give a Call to Action How do you want them to proceed if interested? Attach a resume, fill out an application, call you directly? Be specific. Sell Benefits, Not Features The job posting should be written as an advertisement for the position with emotion, enticing curiosity rather than listing the details generically (and boringly). Step 2: Get your Job Posting Out to the Masses Once your job posting is written, the next step in your process optimization is to get your job out to the masses! If you don’t use recruitment software like Tracker, you’re probably spending a lot of time posting your jobs to your own website as well as the dozens (or hundreds) of job boards you may use. Add to that making sure that your job postings are discoverable by Google (see above). Tracker has developed two essential website integration features: Job Board Post and Jobs+, to eliminate the tedious job of posting across multiple sites, including your own. In only a few clicks, our Job Board Post feature creates a web-ready version and pushes it out to your website, as well as any other job board you integrate with, with the click of a button. You can also integrate social sharing into your job distribution. Our Jobs+ website integration combines both step one and two through a customized buildout of your job microsite. Additionally this supplemental service includes automated optimization of your job posting and distribution across job boards and social media channels. All of these optimizations help enhance visibility and ranking on Google and other search engines. Already have some candidates in your system that may be interested in this job? Jobs+ allows you to set up automated email alerts on new job opportunities posted on your website. Even better, Tracker compiles all applicants in an easy-to-view list or card view so you have everything in one place to review, filter and process. No more worrying about tracking emails for each applicant and stressing about losing or missing applications. “TrackerRMS works with the latest automation technologies. (such as - having your data encrypted, text messaging, document signing, integrating with all the job boards and much more.” - Diana G. Final tip: Don’t avoid free job board sites.
