Considering what you seek in a candidate is important, but viewing it from the candidate's perspective offers valuable insights. Explore how shifting your viewpoint can enhance your hiring process. Creating the perfect job ad is a true art form. It's easy to think about what you're looking for in a candidate, but when you look at it from a candidate’s perspective, it takes on a whole new meaning.
So, next time you’re putting a job ad together, think about these points:
Salary range Outlining a salary lets people know which jobs are within their experience range and which might be worth looking at in a few years. Transparency’s a real strength when writing job ads.
A realistic list of job qualifications What are your must-haves and want-to-haves? Be careful you’re not ruling out exceptional candidates by throwing everything in there. Keep it short and sharp - only include the must-haves.
Flexibility We all know people want choice about where and when they work, so outlining your work time and place flexibility can make your role a lot more attractive.
Check out your competitors What are they advertising? How are they doing it? Understanding that will give you an edge in the market.
