Greetings! You have received this email because you signed up for the free Entrepreneurial Twist Recruiting Ezine housed at RISE, or The Internet Recruiting Edge. Today I'll be discussing something you really should be aware of when spending your hard-earned dollars in expensive (or even cheap) job posting.

AUTHOR NOTE! As mentioned last week, I have migrated this mailing list to something a weee bit more automatic! What do you think of the transition?

The market's picking up....don't you think you should get the best possible edge today? Superb review by The Fordyce Letter - The Internet Recruiting Edge

Good afternoon,

Brief, pithy and to the point (as I always am! :-) ). As a consultant to the recruiting industry, it never fails to amaze me how many mistakes recruiters can make with their precious job postings. And I'm not even talking this time about catchy headlines, copy that sells the position, internal information that answers the 'whats in it for me'....I'm focusing upon something even more specific.

Have you ever posted a job and then wondered why nobody responded?

Do a quick check of your posting. Did you misstype the contact information? Indeed, I have seen several job posts out there where the contact mailing link is missing a, say,

.com

or instead of .com it reads

.cmo

Recruiters sometimes will misspell their names, their companies and other things too. I would think this would guarantee a drastically reduced response rate to a job posting!!

When you're posting jobs on any board, please do yourself a favor and give the information a once-over before sending it to the Internet. Contact information is often hidden to the eyes unless someone passes their mouse over the hyperlink...you might unwittingly have included a typo that will prevent you from receiving the qualified candidates you deserve. This is your money we're talking about...make sure you get the best bang for your buck.

ThankYouVeryMuch!
