📝 The Do's and Don'ts of Writing Job Ads Writing an effective job ad is key to attracting the right candidates. The wording, structure, and details you include will determine who applies. Here are four crucial do's and don'ts to guide you: ✅Do's: * Use a Consistent Template: Maintaining a uniform format across all your job ads enhances professionalism and readability. * List Essential and Desirable Requirements: Clearly separate must-have qualifications from nice-to-haves to help candidates self-assess their fit for the role. * Include Salary/Wage Information: Transparency about compensation can attract more serious and relevant applicants. * Use Clear, Concise Language: Avoid jargon and overly complex terms to ensure the ad is easily understood. ❌Don'ts: * Skip Important Details: Don’t omit critical information like job location, work hours, or company benefits, as this can lead to misunderstandings and mismatched expectations. * Use Vague Descriptions: Be specific about the role’s responsibilities to attract candidates who meet your needs. * Use Jargon or Complex Terms: Keep the language simple and clear to ensure the ad is easily understood by a broad audience. * Exclude Contact Information: Ensure candidates know how to apply and whom to contact for further information. A poorly written job ad can significantly increase your time to hire, causing delays and potentially missing out on the right candidate. 🔍 Need help crafting the perfect job ad?

After many years of clients asking me (successfully) if I'd mind writing their job ads alongside their marketing copy, the penny has finally dropped. I'm pleased to share We Write Job Ads, my solution to the ever-increasing demand for recruitment advertising copy. I've found that writing job adverts is usually loathed, or viewed as a Friday afternoon, last minute job that drops down the priority list. But surely, job ads are quite possibly the most important tool recruiters have to ensure the applicants they are getting are engaged from the very first interaction? After a few years of getting stuck into employer branding, EVPs and recruitment media marketing, my journey from recruitment consultant to copywriter to head of copy here and there is taking a step backward to where I first started – writing job ads for a living 😂 So if you CBA writing job ads, you aren't particularly good at it, or just need a creative approach to grab attention, all while still including all the finer details and your employer brand, give me a shout! I'm also holding training sessions aimed at helping the next generation of recruiters to connect with their audiences. https://lnkd.in/ewQ__Gi8 #jobads #jobadverts #jobadvertisement #jobadvertwriting #writejobads #jobadwriting

Can we talk about the long and boring "Fill This Application Form" for job applications? . . . I understand that you need my basic information which is name, email, work experience years, etc. But if you're going to ask me about my life changing moments in an application form, I'll click out. What are interviews for? You want to know everything from one form but you can't even tell your salary bracket in the job description? No, thanks. And don't get me started on a 5 minute video explaining how I am the perfect fit for the job. It takes a lot of time and effort to fill out every application form. At this pace, I'll apply for hardly 10 jobs per day. You liked my portfolio. And you have my number, so give me a call. P.S. What's the stupidest question you had to answer in an application form? . . . #job #applicationforms #copywriting #marketing #boringjobs #workplacecommunication #interview

As a Marketer, what does your CV look like? Plain as Jane (sorry Jane) or does it really show off your design skills with a fancy border and the wildest design elements you've ever seen? Now, this one is heavily influenced by working at a recruitment company and being surrounded by multiple sectors working on marketing roles. The insider info I've gathered (I'm super nosey and listen in to conversations) is that if you're going through an agency, there's no point in doing a fancy design! The formatting will be edited to plain/company branding to send off anyway, so it's a bit of a waste. However, as someone who's only ever used agencies, I'm not confident in sharing a hiring manager's perspective - would be interesting to get some insight from a different point of view! In my opinion, keep the CV plain and get a portfolio to show off your talent but I'm open to discussion, so... 💻Marketers: What does your CV look like? 📃Hiring Managers/Recruiters: What do you WANT a marketer's CV to look like? (reason number 237 of why I don't schedule posts: this idea popped into my head when I was in bed last night and I scrambled to write a rough draft in my notes before I forgot... see below... yes I go to bed early)
