Struggling to Attract Applicants?

Are Poor Job Adverts Costing You Applications?

If you're seeing low application rates, it might not just be the market or the roles you are listing.

There's a good chance your recruitment adverts are playing a huge part in this problem.

Job adverts are your first point of contact with a potential candidate.

If they’re not up to scratch, you’re likely missing out on attracting top talent.

Effective advertising goes beyond listing job duties—it’s about shaping an advert that speaks directly and inclusively to the right audience.

But if your adverts aren't doing this, you could be losing out on great applicants without even realizing it.

The Costs of Ineffective Job Adverts

Low application numbers can significantly impact your business:

• Financial Losses: Every position that goes unfilled can mean lost revenue, especially if clients see it as a delay.
• Reputation Damage: Clients expect efficiency. If your adverts don't attract enough applicants, your ability to fulfill recruitment needs may come into question.
• Lacking Diversity: Poorly constructed adverts might unintentionally exclude diverse candidates, leading to gaps in recruitment inclusivity.

And let’s not underestimate the frustration and time wasted on ineffective adverts.

With lengthy periods spent rewriting or fine-tuning ads, key details and potential biases can easily be overlooked.

Recognizing the Problems in Your Job Adverts

1. Biased Language

Words matter, and sometimes the language used in adverts can unintentionally exclude certain groups.

Gender-coded words or jargon might dissuade some candidates from applying.

Using inclusive recruitment practices ensures that what you’re asking speaks to a wide audience.

2. Outdated Information

If your job adverts use outdated phrasing or information, it might seem like the company isn't forward-thinking.

Candidates are looking for roles that indicate growth and modernity.

Having up-to-date, fresh content is crucial to keeping your adverts relevant and inviting.

3. Too Broad or Too Narrow

Your adverts need balance.

If they’re too vague, candidates might not see the role’s uniqueness.

Conversely, if too specific, you may inadvertently filter out the right applicants who think they don’t check every box.

The Downsides of Overwhelming Processes

Many recruitment agency owners feel burdened by the pressure to constantly write and rewrite adverts manually.

This can be draining and reduce your capacity to effectively manage applications.

The process of recruiting is already delicate enough without being sidetracked by inefficient practices.

Imagine spending hours laboring over wording and aligning client expectations into adverts.

After pouring in so much effort, you still face the same challenges in candidate attraction.

It’s clear that a more efficient method of crafting job adverts is needed.
