Posting your job

Important for online job posting

People read less online than offline. The first paragraph is quickly scanned and then they decide to continue reading or not. Therefore it is important to explain immediately what you have to offer.

1. Use keywords in your job title for an appealing and findable job ad
2. The first 200 characters of your job description are also shown on the job result page: make your intro appealing to candidates
3. Describe 1 item per paragraph
4. One paragraph shouldn't be longer than 5 lines
5. Set out your structure:
   • Job description
   • Role responsibilities
   • Job offer
   • If desired: a link to your web site
   • Contact information
   • A short description of your company (product range, culture, seize, etc
6. Use bullet points
7. Avoid doubt: formulate clear and specific requirements to candidates
8. Use keywords: which keywords will a job seeker use when searching for a job?
9. Keep your job text short and concise: ideally your text is about 1 A4 (500 words)
