To produce this guide to producing an effective job ad, ChannelPro’s editorial team consulted with HR experts and industry-leading MSPs, evaluated dozens of IT job advertisements, and reviewed a wide range of hiring how-to documents.
JOB AD BEST PRACTICES
Each best practice corresponds to the ad below
- Brand awareness matters. Configure your logo and add your company name whenever possible.
- Job ad titles should be straightforward. An applicant shouldn’t have to guess if they’re qualified. A/B test if you’re not getting great results.
- Be upfront about location requirements. Stay flexible to attract more candidates.
- Sell yourself. Provide context for who you are and sell yourself, but keep it relatively short.
- Your job ad needs to stand out! According to Indeed.com, there are more than 15,700 Tier I jobs available right now in the US.
- Speak honestly about potential “deal-breakers” like travel and after hours work.
- Don’t demand too much education and experience. Sometimes the right candidate is a fast learner with the right attitude.
- Consider including salary info. Per Career Builder, candidates are up to 13x more likely to apply if salary info is included in a job ad posting.
- Benefits are critical. List industry standard benefits plus perks that set your company apart.
- Use a strong Call to Action. Make the application flow easy. Don’t let great candidates slip through your fingers!
