Job openings that stay open for too long? Here are 5 tips.


<\/p>


<\/p>

Tip 1: Write a sharp job description<\/h2>

Vague job titles and general texts do not attract good candidates. Be specific about the role, the responsibilities, and what you are really looking for.<\/p>

  • Mention the salary or a salary range (candidates actively filter on this)<\/li>
  • Use search engine-friendly keywords that candidates actually type in<\/li>
  • Avoid jargon and be concrete about daily tasks<\/li><\/ul>

    A job vacancy that ranks well on Google also ranks well with candidates.<\/p>

    Tip 2: Use multiple channels simultaneously<\/h2>

    Waiting for LinkedIn to do the work is a missed opportunity. Spread your job vacancy widely and targeted.<\/p>

    • Actively share on LinkedIn and other social platforms<\/li>
    • Involve colleagues: their network reaches candidates you would never find yourself<\/li>
    • Consider targeted social ads for hard-to-fill positions<\/li><\/ul>

      The more visibility, the greater the chance of a match.<\/p>

      Tip 3: Build a talent pool<\/h2>

      Not every good candidate fits the current vacancy, but that doesn't mean you should let them go.<\/p>

      Stay in touch with previous applicants and build a warm talent pool. For a new position, you will have a shortlist ready, instead of starting from scratch again.<\/p>

      Tip 4: Schedule interviews quickly<\/h2>

      Speed is an underestimated recruitment skill. Good candidates are often employed elsewhere within a week.<\/p>

      Ideally, schedule interviews within a week after the application. Every day of delay is a day when a competitor can be faster.<\/p>

      Tip 5: Optimize for mobile<\/h2>

      More and more candidates apply via their phone, between two appointments or from the couch.<\/p>

      Ensure that your application process is responsive: easy-to-fill forms, no lengthy steps, and a CV upload that works smoothly on mobile as well. A cumbersome process on mobile costs you candidates before they even start.<\/p>
