Employee Recruitment and Selection

6 Preparing the Job Advertisement

Your job advertisement should reflect your company values and effectively communicate the various duties and responsibilities of the available position. For example, if your organization is free-spirited and encourages employees to show personal style, then depict that in your advertisement. Ultimately, the hiring process should be a “win-win” situation for both employer and employee.

You want individuals who want to come and work for you, so be sure to provide all the information in your advertisement that potential clients need. This includes:

  • Qualifications required (professional qualifications/experience/skills and personal traits)
  • How to apply (email, in person)
  • Deadline for applications
  • Company information and why a candidate would want to work for the company

See Appendix 2 for a sample job advertisement.
