What should be included in a job posting?
There are seven things you should include in your job posting to ensure it relays essential information to job seekers. These seven essentials include:
-
Job and Company Title. While this may seem simple, outlining this information at the very start of the posting is crucial. You can also enhance the posting by including keywords in your title, so it’s easier for job seekers of the desired background to find your posting through search engines.
-
About Us Section. Job seekers want to know why they should work for you, and the about section will tell them what you’re all about. Include positive information about what your company does, as well as its mission, values, and corporate culture. You can also talk about why your current employees love working for you.
-
Job Responsibilities. Job seekers need to know what the job will expect of them. Include information about regular tasks, how they’ll interact with others, and other general information about what will be expected of them on the job.
-
Job Requirements. If you need specific experience requirements, ensure that you list them. Additionally, if you only prefer a certain experience level, but don’t require it, ensure that you specify that.
-
Pay info. Many jobs neglect to include specific pay info, which is a mistake. Candidates are 13x more likely to apply for a position when this information is included. So, even if you need to post a range of salaries, ensure that you include something.
-
Benefits. Full-time jobs should include a detailed list of benefits, including 401(k) and health insurance. However, part-time jobs can also include benefits such as a flexible schedule, work-life balance, challenging work, or the ability to make a difference.
-
Location. Tell candidates where you’re located, as this is a major determining factor for most workers. In addition, if your job is remote, you should also ensure that information is front and center.
-
-
What not to include in a job posting?
There are five common mistakes not to include in a job posting that you should avoid:
-
Jargon. Don’t include words like ninja, rockstar, wizard, or guru in your listing. Not only does Web Guru give less information than Web Designer, but it also makes it hard for job seekers to take your posting seriously.
-
Generic and Uninformative Description. Not only are these boring to read, but they also lack vital information your candidates will need for success.
-
Never-Ending List of Responsibilities. Overdoing your list of responsibilities will overwhelm and drive candidates away. Instead, find ways to condense that list into a more palatable set of information (4-6 bullet points should do).
-
Paragraph Format. While a paragraph is acceptable for the “about us” section, most sections in your job posting should be bulleted, rather than paragraphs. This makes reading your posting and pulling essential information far easier for job seekers.
-
Forgetting SEO. When posting online, it’s crucial to include keywords in your job posting. If you don’t, it’ll be challenging for seekers to find your post.
-
-
How long should a job posting be?
Job postings should be about 300 words. While many job postings can reach up to 600+ words, longer posts are not as effective. Posts that are 300 words or less convince candidates to apply 8.4% more often.
