The "right fit" job seekers need to "see and feel the fit" quickly. So shrink print ads by getting rid of the "fluff." Print only what is needed to send people to a jobs section on your web site. There, you can detail to job seekers what matters most to them about the position opportunity.
People seeking a lasting employment relationship are willing to dig deeper for content that relates directly to the employment opportunity. They will expect you to make it easy for them to learn what you are really like as an employer.
When job seekers believe that your opportunity for employment is a "fit," they will want to do something immediately to move the hiring process forward.
Your objective is to rapidly and inexpensively attract and screen qualified applicants who can fill the job in a way that it stays filled.
Tool #4 in KEi's 14 tool system falls under the Finding category:
Tool #4, Qualify the Applicant Pool confronts the fact that you are getting far too many job ad responses from applicants who do not understand or possess the qualities you are looking for in an employee.
The cost of a long, in-depth print ad can be very high. This tool was developed as a more effective way to describe job opportunities and necessary qualifications to job seekers. It attracts the attention of people who can become successful, satisfied employees in work environments that keep improving the employee skills that can lead to growth for the business.
Using this tool, you will benefit from the elimination of job seekers who de-select themselves as misfits before you spend the time and money to interview them. You will efficiently collect initial screening data from people who are likely to be a better fit.
