Summary of Job Advert (s)
When creating your job advert please consider the following:
-
Keep your job adverts concise yet readable, with the skills near the beginning.
-
Identify the 'key skill' and use once in both Job Title and Job Description fields.
-
Identify the 'associated skills' and use once in the Job Description field.
-
Specify the Location/Postcode as tightly as you can and use once in the Location field only.
Concise and Readable Adverts
Write clear and concise, yet readable, job adverts that clearly and unambiguously state the job title and key skills in the Job Title field and repeat these together with any required or desired associated skills near the beginning of the Job Description field so they can be viewed easily in the job search results. Define the location as closely as possible once in the Location field only. This will help in Google map searches the job advert will not only be found by searches for that specific town/city but also by all searches for larger regions that contain it.
Avoid the temptation to make your job adverts simply a list of skills as you may miss or deter potential candidates even where your job advert features highly in their search results. Conversely, padding the job advert with large descriptive content will lower the job advert's ranking and although the job advert may match more job seeker searches it will not feature as high in the order of results.
Job Title
Identify the job title and key skills if required.
Job Description
The key skill should be mentioned early in the job advert followed by those associated skills that either the ideal candidate would also possess for the position or to identify those candidates the client is prepared to cross-train. Key skills will automatically be recognised to match with any alternative versions so these need not be provided in the job advert. Try to avoid over-padding with irrelevant skills. Although this may match with more searches the value of each skill match will be reduced. Use the associated skills sparingly as repetition of the same skill within your job advert will also reduce its value, as does creating a long job advert where the skills comprise only a small part of the field's content. Create job adverts that are concise, to the point yet readable, with the skills near the top
Location
Specify the Location as tightly as you can and use once in the Location field only. This key location will be automatically expanded to match with searches for the county, region, country and continent that contain it.
Salary / Rate
To ensure maximum exposure it is important to include an accurate annual salary or hourly/daily rate within your job adverts, along with the currency symbol, as job seekers can filter their search by salary/rate bands.
Contract job postings showing a Rate get at least double the applications than those without.
Permanent job postings showing a Salary get 20% more applications than postings showing no salary.
Rejected Job Adverts
All jobs are verified by salesroles.com to ensure they comply with our advertising guidelines. Please note that any illegal, offensive or unacceptable adverts will be removed.

It is generic in nature (you are advertising for more than one job title or for more than one client).
-
It has been advertised on the wrong industry sector.
-
Your chosen online application form/URL is inappropriate or faulty.
If your advert is rejected by salesroles.com, it will be returned to you by email detailing the reason for rejection, changes required and a hyperlink to allow you to suitably amend the advert. The job posting will be temporarily removed from the website until corrections are made. Please note that corrections can only be made to the disputed section of the advert.
