A lot of small businesses that are hiring need help in how to write a job ad. This is
one of the more important steps in the hiring process. If the ad is not done right, you
will end up getting job applicants that are not qualified or desirable. The first step
is to outline the roles and responsibilities of the position, including the “must haves”
and “would be great if we had” qualification list. Use the internet to search for similar
job descriptions as well as use resume searching to see if there are qualifications or other
job related skills that may also be relevant to the role you are hiring for and have not
included in your job posting outline. Make sure your description is complete and thorough.
The more information you can include now, the less work you will have later on as the
job ad should do a good job of screening out people that may be unqualified or uninterested
based on the description. This could include mentioning things such as if certain licenses,
training, years of experience or education level is required. With these few tips your
job ad will hopefully be more effective in bringing in the right candidates.
