Advert or Listing – Content

Whilst you are very familiar with the role or opportunity being advertised; your applicants likely are not. Therefore:

  • Consider using your advisory representatives or a different colleague to proof-read your advert to ensure it captures all the necessary information.
  • Try to add a named contact clearly on the advert or listing so that if applicants have queries, they know where to address them and feel empowered to do so.
  • Another helpful addition is to provide guidance regarding the type of reviewers who will access their application. This helps applicants to know whether they are writing their application for specialists, generalists, or both.
