GET THE OPTIMAL EFFECT - THE ROUND UP

August 16, 2022

"Get-Optimal will be the go-to SaaS platform for any organisation that wants to tackle not only bias but also SEO and structural issues in their Job Ads.” – Gary Elden OBE, Non-Executive Chairperson, Get-Optimal

Problem

Are you a frustrated HR tech or TA team, spending 30% of your day writing copy, or copying and pasting job ads? Or struggling to attract a diverse range of candidates due, and not sure why? Did you know that the average job description is 6.2 years old and contains 50% plagiarised content? Maybe you’ve noticed you are struggling to attract candidates that fall under the Equality Act, or want to improve your brand's representational value. Optimal is a global technology company Diversity and Inclusion provider whose core product is Optimising your job ads, so you don’t have to!

A bit about us

Get-Optimal was founded in 2019 by CEO Dan Fellows, who grew frustrated at the discussions around DE&I amounting to absolutely nothing. It was time, thought Dan, to get to work. To help businesses reduce bias in their job ads and promote diversity and inclusion, along with a world-class technology team, we trained a cutting-edge AI. A few industry-first algorithms later, Get-Optimal was born. The rest, we think, will be history.

Solution

Optimising your job ads is beneficial across six major touchpoints:

Content

  • Good content can make or break the success of placing new employees in a business.
  • Gen Z’s drive to apply for roles is driven by a fierce sense of morality, so it’s important to communicate this in your ad.
  • To attract a diverse and inclusive level of applicants, you must include everyone and be sure you use inclusive language.

Automation

  • Automation allows our AI to do the hard work for you
  • No more skimming for spelling, punctuation, and grammar
  • Ensure your job ad is original enough to be indexed on google

Engagement & Readability

  • Create job ads easy to understand, that entice the applicant
  • Avoid the wrong wording, length or physical form on the screen and don’t discourage the perfect candidate

D&I and Inclusivity

  • A legal requirement in the UK - you can’t set a profile for your ideal employee using any of the protected characteristics unless you can actively prove there is a genuine business need
  • The Equality Act also protects against Indirect Discrimination such as all applicants to a job being male or asking for an unobtainable level of experience for younger potential employees (i.e. 10+ years)

EVP: Employer Brand Proposition

  • First impressions are critical in a candidate-driven market where we have record-high candidate vacancies
  • If your EVP is evident in your job ad, your company’s message is consistent, attracting the best candidate for the job, placing you a step ahead in engaging and retaining top talent

SEO: Search Engine Optimisation

  • Including the correct keywords and a firm SEO strategy will widen the net in client attraction
  • Keywords are scanned for by the major search engines, allowing them to index your content and rank its position in their returned search results
