Struggling to convert job seekers (traffic) into applicants? Take a look at the Job Ad itself and stop blaming the lack of available candidates!

WHY IT'S TIME TO REMOVE THE 'YEARS OF EXPERIENCE' REQUIREMENTS FROM YOUR JOB ADS

Finding the right candidate for the job starts with a Job Ad that’s created and written with inclusivity in mind.

BREAKING THE BIAS IN JOB ADS

Are you building bias into your Job Ads without even knowing it? While writing an inclusive Job Ad may seem straightforward, unconscious bias through phrasing, structure and content can significantly limit the pool of talented applicants.

YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO FLEXIBLE WORKING

How are you talking about flexible working in your Job Adverts? If you don’t mention that flexible working is an option then you’re missing out on a huge cohort of candidates. Indeed.com – the leading search engine for jobs –reported that 72% of job searches include terms like flexible working. Only 19% of Job Ads optimised by Get-Optimal in 2021 included this terminology (which is also a very rich SEO term).
