Niche Job Boards: Turning Bad Habits into New Year’s Resolutions and Hires
By admin | December 17, 2007
Many of us make all kinds of professional resolutions on Jan. 1, but by the end of the month, they mainly fall to the wayside. How can we make our resolutions stick? One way is by creating new (better) habits. And fortunately, there are some common Niche Job Board advertising, posting and sourcing bad habits that can be corrected with a New Year’s resolution.
The following are 4 Niche Job Board online job posting bad habits, resolutions and ideas on how recruiters, employers and Hiring Managers can quickly implement them:
· Posting Niche Job Board online job descriptions that are too long and wordy. And asking too many questions in your job description. Resolution: Remove unnecessary words or paragraphs from Niche Job Board online job postings. How to quickly implement: Think of your Niche Job Board online job posting as a face to face job interview and stick to providing 90% job related information.
· Posting your Niche Job Board job under the wrong category. This will cause confusion among potential candidates if your Niche Job Board description says one thing but the category it is under does not match it. For example, if the job description is for an Accountant, do not put it under a Senior Financial Analyst title. Resolution: Double check job title and description are listed under the proper job category to be searchable by the best qualified candidates. How to quickly implement: Use the knock out factor. Per the previous example, if the candidate must have accounting skills such as journal entries then do not post the job under the Senior Financial Analyst category.
· Posting your job on the wrong Niche Job Board. For example, Windows is very broad. Do not post a Windows .net Developer job on a job board for Windows Device Drivers. They are two different jobs requiring different skill sets. This can set your job search back 30/60/90 days depending on how long you posted the job on the wrong job board. Resolution: Understand the target audience of the Niche Job Board you are posting to. How to quickly implement: Create a Niche Job Board posting cheat sheet indicating possible target audience such as Database Developers or SQL Developers.
· Blasting your job opportunity over technical discussion groups. That is not the place to solicit people about your opportunity. Resolution: Treat forums and discussion groups as a valuable resource by partnering with the forum and getting them to help you help their members. How to quickly implement: Reach out to the forum and ask for the proper protocol for reaching their forum members. Many of them have certain areas of the forums designated for jobs.
The above Niche Job Board online job posting bad habits left unchecked could possibly cost you a hire. But implementing the simple changes above can help you reach your hiring goals that much quicker in the upcoming year.
