When posting jobs on major job boards adhering to each platform's specific guidelines is crucial for ensuring your roles are visible and attractive to potential candidates. 📢

Following these guidelines not only increases the likelihood that your job postings will appear in search results but also helps maintain the integrity and professionalism of the recruitment process. 👍

Sometimes, job postings may not be visible because they do not comply with these guidelines. For instance, job titles and descriptions that are vague, misleading, or overly complicated can result in reduced visibility. 🚫 Additionally, practices such as reposting the same job multiple times or not providing enough detail about the job can lead to the job being flagged or even removed. ❌

By understanding and implementing the guidelines provided by each job board, you can improve the chances of your job postings being seen by the right candidates. This includes using clear and professional job titles, providing detailed and truthful job descriptions, ensuring a fair and transparent application process, and respecting candidate privacy. 📝🔍

Job Titles 📢:

A job title should attract your ideal candidate's attention and clearly describe the role. This improves online searchability, reducing barriers to entry and attracting a wider pool of candidates. Avoid using irrelevant language such as "Hiring Now!" as it can lead to rejection by job board partners and negatively impact the candidate experience.

- Keep it short: Aim for 10 to 35 characters.

- Avoid capital letters: Titles in all capital letters don’t rank well.

- No special characters: Easier to read and search.

- Be clear: Use common terms like "JavaScript Developer" instead of jargon like “Ninja” or “Jedi”.

- Avoid internal titles: Use clear and descriptive titles, not internal abbreviations.

Job Descriptions 📝

Effective job descriptions are concise but detailed, typically between 700 and 2000 words.

- Start strong: Begin with an engaging paragraph.

- Be honest: Describe the role’s responsibilities accurately.

- Detail daily tasks: Outline day-to-day responsibilities.

- List requirements: Clearly state required skills and preferences.

- Explain the role: Show how the job fits within the company.

- Include location and company name: Be specific, avoid terms like “national”.

- Show company culture: Highlight benefits, salary, schedule, and perks.

- Format for readability: Use bullet points and break up large text blocks.

Job Location 📍

Location details are crucial for visibility and relevance in search algorithms.

- Be specific: Include country, city, state/province, and zip/postal code, even for remote jobs.

- Clarify work location: State if the job is remote, hybrid, or in-person.

- Capitalize location names: Ensure city and state/province names are capitalized correctly.

- Avoid spamming: Don’t post the same job in multiple cities to prevent blacklisting.

Remote Jobs 🏠

For remote positions, follow specific guidelines to accurately represent the job location (it should always specify the country and city) and work expectations.
