Developing a Job Posting

To be effective, job postings must be developed thoughtfully and advertised strategically. This section provides advice for drafting and advertising job postings that will make a good first impression and attract qualified candidates.

Creating the Job Posting

Importance of the Title

An informative title is more effective at drawing in potential candidates than a generic one. For example, instead of just stating the exact title of the job, such as "Developer," consider something more descriptive, such as "Senior Developer for high-growth company in New York City." Building more information into the title makes it stand out from others and can motivate viewers to read further.
