Optimizing your Job Postings Helps You Stand Out

With so many job boards, social media sites, and traditional media outlets available for employers, recruiting top talent amidst such a busy landscape has become increasingly difficult today. How can job seekers find you? How can you stand out? Job Post Media can help answer those questions and we take it a step further – we have a team dedicated to refining job descriptions for a better employer and job seeker experience.

How It Works
Our copywriting team reviews and optimizes job descriptions while keeping the following in mind:

1. Searchability: Our copywriters will incorporate keywords relevant to your open positions within the job description.

2. Formatting: We’ll ensure your job description is formatted in a way that’s easy to follow and appealing to the eye.

3. Company voice: We do our research to learn more about your company and make sure your job description matches how your company presents itself.

4. Employer needs: We make sure that the work requirements and expectations are clearly defined to improve applicant quality.

5. Job seeker needs: We make sure that the compensation, perks, and company overview are included, as these are important factors for job seekers and could sway them toward working for your company.

How You Can Help
Your job description should be more than just a guideline for candidates about the role and its requirements – this is your time to shine and sell your company! Your brand – what makes you different and why would someone want to work for you – is best described by you.

Following are some questions to get you thinking about your company brand. The feedback you provide will help our team further enhance your posting.

• Do you have a company mission statement? If so, what is it?

• Describe your company culture in 10 words.

• Have you ever spoken with employees that have been at your company for a long time about what’s kept them there so long? What do they like most about the job?

• What traits do your best employees possess?

• Are there any company achievements you’re particularly proud of? Any accolades the company has earned? (Remember, this is your time to show off!)

• What’s the working environment like? Office, out in the field, factory, warehouse, etc.? Fast-paced, relaxed, team-oriented?

• Are there any unique perks your employees get to enjoy? If so, what are they?
