How To Write A Successful Internet Job Posting?
The key to a successful internet job posting is to first acknowledge that it is not a print classified ad. An Internet job posting is interactive, and requires a good understanding of interactive marketing. The biggest challenge contractors face when posting jobs online is recognizing that they need to change their traditional job posting habits. Posting an online job would not be good if it was written like a print classified ad. It should be thought of as an interactive marketing campaign for the entire firm. Write to the marketing department instead of the HR department.

Update the company's website.
The company's website is fast becoming the first point of contact for job seekers or potential customers. Contractors should update their corporate website to provide professional and interactive presentation of the firm, its goals, key people, corporate culture, top achievements and business philosophy. In fact, every marketing resource available to a contractor should be used to optimize a corporate website. Although most job boards provide hotlinks to company websites, they do nothing. Either way, job seekers are more likely to freely surf the Internet to find relevant press releases / news on the contractor's website before submitting their resume.
Keyword principle
In the fast-paced world of internet surfing, most job seekers will take the time to view only the top 20 search results. It's usually about keywords to move it up. They often differentiate between successful job postings and a waste of time. Contractors need to put the right keywords in the right place so that the right people can find their job postings.
Online job postings are not viewed in the same way as print classified ads. Online job postings are hidden in a database of thousands of records, and they should be called upon to look for job seekers. This process can take the form of keyword selection in search engines or take any form with point and click directories.
It is important for contractors to read the Hosting Job Board's job postings and keyword instructions as they will vary from site to site. Many job boards will rank or prioritize job postings in their databases by title, membership status, date, keywords, or other less clear sources.
Incorporating keywords correctly ensures that job postings will reach the top of job search results. Incorrectly inserting keywords can result in job postings being deleted by the hosting job board or lost in database records that job seekers never find.
While identifying the best keywords for job posting, contractors should determine which job seekers will choose to use the Job Board's search engine - and all relevant professional specific terms (ie Include Hard Bid Estimator or Value Engineering).
To cover all bases, it is a good idea to use more than one word or synonym, which can mean the same thing. For example, if the job location is in a lesser known city like Maitland, Florida, but close to a popular city like Orlando, Florida, then Orlando should be included as a keyword.
Most job boards require keywords to be entered in a specific field, in a specific way (using quotes, commas, etc.). Job postings that do not offer a specific field for keywords typically require the contractor to include
keywords in job descriptions, job requirements, or other searchable fields. When adding keywords to a job description, contractors should write the keywords in full sentences so that the content flows as a logical structure.
Make it reliable.
Job postings should be reliable and complete if they want to attract top talent. Most executive job seekers are interested in job postings that include detailed job descriptions and job requirements. Many people want to see information about salary and company.
Others want to know where the job is. Most job boards claim that a well-written job posting can receive a lot more qualified applications than a poorly written job posting. Fortunately, many job boards offer FAQs and job posting instructions to help contractors get the most out of their jobs. Some provide statistical analysis of individual job postings
These statistics often show the number of job seeker views and the number of applications submitted for each job posting. Contractors can use statistics to review their results and edit job postings accordingly.
The more details that are provided in the job, the more reliable the job and the better fit. Therefore, more job seekers will answer. Contractors should be specific about the scope and type of work, hours, work targets, salary and location.
They must also ensure that all fields are properly filled. Some boards allow job postings to be reviewed before working directly so that contractors can post the full job the way job seekers see it. Many job boards allow real-time editing during in-flight advertising.
Manage style.
Unlike classified print ads, online job postings typically allow copy pages. Headhunter.net allows 3,000 characters in job descriptions and 3,000 characters in job requirements fields - or about two typewriting pages.
Contractors should write clearly and present the text in an organized, logical manner. Job postings should be read as a composition, not a printed classified ad. Sentences may be short but they are always complete sentences that contain correct spelling, punctuation and grammar.
The copy should include a natural paragraph with a line break, so that the job seeker can find the relevant information quickly and easily. Writing in all caps, using excessive exclamation points,
or adding abbreviations and abbreviations will reduce the credibility of the job posting and possibly dismiss the job through the hosting job board. Abbreviations and abbreviations should also be spelled out because job seekers usually search by full words.
Read job posting guidelines.
Most job boards have terms of use that members / users must agree to - so that their service can be used. It is important for contractors to read and understand the terms and conditions related to job postings and keywords in order to get the best results.
It is common for job boards to delete or edit 25% of all job postings with high quality control standards because they are inappropriate. Most job boards do not allow the listing of emails,
URLs, use of copyrighted material, defamatory remarks, false, inaccurate or misleading information, illegal or immoral content. Job postings that encourage job seekers to email for more details are generally prohibited.
Follow up
Contractors should immediately follow up on all eligible applications that have been submitted. "The pace of hiring top talent is everything," says Peter Weedles at weedles.com. Within ten days, the top 10 jobs have become job seekers.
Once a wanted person is identified, it is important to act on that person immediately. Today's recruitment market is highly competitive and the recruitment cycle should not allow any time between the schedule of internal interviews and the final selection.
Contractors should not leave job seekers without a scheduled follow-up meeting for more than five to seven days. Otherwise, they run the risk of losing the job seeker altogether.
There must be a high level of management with all key employees. Involving top management makes job seekers feel that rent is an important position, and that they have been personally selected as "candidates" through high-level selection. Contractors should start closing contracts when they know they want to hire someone. They should not give up until an offer is on the table and accepted.
