Wonder why you’re not getting great job applicants? You might want to take a closer look at how you write your job descriptions.
As the unemployment rate falls and the battle for talent heats up, job listings are becoming much more competitive.
For every great job description, there are many more that simply list keywords related to job duties, tasks, qualifications and experience requirements. While it’s easy to write job descriptions that are simply lists of keywords, these descriptions are hard for applicants to read and understand. They also attract job seekers who are mass-applying to jobs – and who might not be a good fit for your organization.
