Dolores Huerta Foundation’s Post

Whenever drafting a job description, it's important to remember that it's not just about what you want from a candidate but also what they will get in return. By addressing both, you create a culture that benefits everyone involved. A business aims to make a profit and a candidate aims to achieve their own personal and professional goals. Keep this in mind next time you're hiring! #interviewtips #jobdescription #culturefirst #bestemployer #thoughtfortoday #hiring

Hot take incoming… If you don’t have a specialized skill that is listed as required for a job…. Don’t apply. Let me be clear, I admire folks who are trying to shift careers, expand, and grow. But sometimes required experience or skills are actually… required. Assuming you can “wing it” - whatever it is - let’s say, media relations - minimizes the actual skill, training, schooling, experience, and relationships that one who DOES have that skill brings to the table. If a job posting does not indicate that on the job training is part of the role, and you don’t have the skill or experience required, simply don’t apply. Your application wastes time (yours and ours) and frankly, makes you look bad to the hiring manager and company leaders, especially when the misalignment in skill + need is not addressed or explained in the application process, cover letter, or any other way. #hiring #publicrelations #hottake

Best way to get the right people in your team? Hire for attitude over CV skills. Skills can be taught. Attitude is difficult to change.

I have been seeing a lot of resumes lately where the candidate is simply copying and pasting language from a job description and making very few changes. Organizations are looking to hire a person for a job, not a job description! You have a ton of great accomplishments which no job description can demonstrate. Only you can. Quantify it. Evangelize it. Blow your horn. You’re awesome and you’ll be your strongest advocate for you - this piece of paper is like a that golden ticket. Make it about you and all you have done. Not a job description. #resumebuilding #beawesome #youvegotthis

Are you a hiring manager and/or involved in the process of writing a job description/advert? How many of these blunders are you guilty of? 💥 Requiring "years of experience" for an entry-level role and/or a role you're not willing to pay "years of experience" for. 💥Unless the job is fundamentally impossible to do/understand without a degree, do you really need to be asking for one? 💥SALARY = APPLICATIONS 💥Benfits / Perks transparency - it's one of your greatest selling tools!! Additional food for thought... 💭 Are your benefits truly benefits? And how do you benchmark them? 💡You should be writing a new job description each time you're hiring. If you're using the same job description from 2012 please do yourself a favour and revamp it! 🤔How are you bringing the job to life? Could you include a testimonial from someone who works in the team you're hiring for? Finally, if you expect a candidate applying for your role to write a cover letter and/or edit their CV offer those candidates a job description that ignites a spark 🎇 #Clients #RecruitmentinEastAnglia #NewJob #HireTheRightCandidate #TuesdayTip
