Job Ad Template FAQs

What makes an effective job advertisement?

An effective job advertisement combines clarity, appeal, and completeness. Studies show that job ads using industry-standard titles are more likely to be seen by candidates, while including salary information can significantly increase application rates. Your ad should clearly state the role, requirements, and benefits while showcasing what makes your company unique.

How long should my job advertisement be?

Keep your job ad concise yet comprehensive—typically between 300-700 words. Recent research shows that candidates prioritise clear details about compensation (63%) and flexible work arrangements (44%)—which include location and schedule—over lengthy company descriptions. Focus on what matters most to candidates while providing enough detail to attract qualified applicants.

Should I include salary information in my job ad?

Yes, salary transparency is increasingly important. With 74% of candidates prioritising salary details, including a salary range or stating "competitive salary" with benefits information, can significantly improve your response rate. If you can't disclose exact figures, at least indicate that compensation is competitive for the role and industry.

What's the best way to format job requirements?

Use concise, bulleted lists that lead with strong action verbs like manage, design, or analyse to describe responsibilities and expectations. Keep the list to around 10 key points for readability. Separate “must-have” qualifications from “nice-to-have” skills to help candidates quickly assess their fit for the role.

How can I make my job ad more inclusive?

Use gender-neutral language, avoid unnecessary requirements that might exclude qualified candidates, and focus on essential skills rather than years of experience. Include your commitment to diversity and equal opportunity employment. Consider adding flexible working arrangements, as this appeals to a broader range of candidates.

Where should I post my job advertisement?

While job boards remain popular, remember that 80% of jobs are filled through networking. Post on relevant job boards, your company website, professional networks like LinkedIn, and industry-specific platforms. Consider that 70% of the workforce consists of passive candidates who might see your ad through social media or employee shares.

How quickly should I post a job opening?

Post job openings as soon as possible after identifying the need. The recruitment landscape moves quickly, and top candidates often receive multiple offers. Having a ready-to-use template like ours means you can post professional job ads within hours rather than days, giving you a competitive edge in attracting talent.
