-

-
is actually the very first of a five week series that I'll be doing right
-
here on YouTube where I'll be teaching you how to
-
recruit and find the best job candidates for your company and so in today's
-
episode I'm going to show you the very first step on how to recruit the best
-
job candidates and that is all about how to write a compelling job description
-
as a career strategist I've been able to help numerous professionals land their
-
dream job offers and if this is something that you're interested in
-
working with me one on one I can give you details about that at the end of
-
this video let's face it it's actually really difficult to find a good job
-
candidate who you would love to work at your company and because it isn't easy
-
the key to finding attracting and recruiting the best job candidates is in
-
knowing how to bait them I have seen thousands of job descriptions throughout
-
my career and I can say from my own personal opinion that about 95 percent
-
of all the job descriptions that I've seen are not all that attractive or
-
compelling to job candidates if you're looking for that amazing top-of-the-line
-
candidate so are many other hire managers and companies and so because of
-
that these candidates have the luxury to be picky and they don't necessarily have
-
to interview for your company if your job description isn't all that
-
attractive to them so here are my four tips on how to write a compelling
-
attractive job description that will get more of those amazing job candidates
-
applying to your position tip number one hook them with intriguing questions so
-
the first thing that you want to do is to have a compelling is this you section
-
in the beginning of your job description this is where you can lure them with
-
intriguing questions that basically describe the job candidate and what they
-
would be looking for in their next career move these key questions are
-
going to spark their interests and perk their ears and make them want to read
-
the job description further the reason for this is because typically job
-
descriptions just are very straight to the point this is what you'll be doing
-
jumping into the duties and responsibilities of the position but
-
instead when you can ask questions as the starter to your job description it
-
makes it that much more interactive for the candidate who's reading it and it
-
feels like you're speaking directly to them so let me explain by sharing an
-
example with you let's say that you're a recruiter
-
and the job that you are currently recruiting for hiring for is a designer
-
position to start your job description you can ask are you passionate about
-
developing designs for exciting brands do you love advertising and sharing
-
creative ideas do you have vision and talent to develop design work for
-
innovative media concepts now these questions are fairly simple they're
-
straightforward and there are even a little bit broad but they still relate
-
to the job and the key is that they are intriguing for the job candidate who
-
happens to be reading it at the end of the day what you want to do with this
-
intriguing questions section on your job description is to get the job candidate
-
interested and reading it saying yes that's me yes that's me nodding their
-
head and like I said wanting to read the rest of the job description to find out
-
more tip number 2 summarize the job before getting into the details this is
-
all about having an overview description paragraph on your job description rather
-
than just right away jumping into the details and to do's so in this overview
-
or summary section of your job description you want to describe the
-
overall purpose of this position and what goal this job is meant to achieve
-
for the company and again you want to stick to the theme of making it
-
compelling and meaningful and the key to making things meaningful is to explain
-
why this person will be doing what they'll be doing so if we go back to our
-
designer example in this section you can say something along the lines of this
-
designer will help to create front-end design for websites emails and print to
-
help clients express the story of their brands in a refreshing way so anyone who
-
can relate to this goal or purpose of helping clients to refresh their brands
-
in an exciting way is likely going to be interested in doing this job and
-
therefore applying for your position tip number three write detailed job duties
-
that explain not just what they'll be doing
-
but why once you get to the section on your job description where you have to
-
write up the responsibilities make sure to not just make a
-
grocery list of tasks that they need to do without explaining the purpose behind
-
why they need to do them so remember to write your duties in the order of
-
importance and give each bullet point a purpose for example it's not just create
-
designs for the product or service instead its create designs that are
-
appealing and unique and help intended audiences to feel personally connected
-
to the product or service adding the y-component to every bullet
-
point changes the vibe of every duty that you list down on your job
-
description and again attracts the top candidates and finally tip number four
-
qualify them at the end what I mean here is to now finish off your job
-
description with a additional qualification section that goes above
-
and beyond the duties the task that you've already written out as well as
-
the summary from before here you want to list out anything else that from a
-
technical perspective you are really looking for from this job candidate so
-
it could be additional certifications or courses that they may have taken or
-
certain types of technical knowledge that you really want them to have
-
software skills you can list them all in this section to help you refine your
-
search and make sure that you are able to find the best job candidate there you
-
have it my four tips on how to write a compelling attractive job description so
-
that you can find and hire the best talent into your company now if you are
-
someone who is currently on the path of looking for a job rather than hiring and
-
recruiting and you have found that you've been struggling with your job
