Making the decision to hire someone is a big freaking deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve probably spent hours agonizing over whether you need<\/em> to hire someone (who needs free time, you\u2019ll just do the work yourself, right?!) Then you\u2019ve struggled to figure out if you can afford<\/em> to, and once you\u2019ve done all the math, you\u2019re stuck trying to figure out the best way to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know whenever I have to try and find a good fit for my team of copywriters (we\u2019re up to 6 as I type this), I just get this sense of complete dread of the HOURS OF EFFORT I need to put into finding someone that\u2019s a good cultural fit and<\/em> is talented at their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s well-documented how hard it is to get good employees – 76% of managers<\/a> admit that attracting the right candidate is the hardest part of recruiting. But, even when you find the perfect person, sometimes, they don’t even take the job (75% of recruiters<\/a> say they\u2019ve seen a candidate change their mind after signing an offer letter), and you’re back to square one again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s an absolute nightmare. There has to be an easier way to attract the right people to your business and encourage the perfect candidates to apply – and stick around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Attracting top talent in our industry isn’t easy, but there are things you can do to alleviate the pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It all starts with a well-written job post. Yes, really.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re looking to expand your team, or you\u2019re trying to hire your first set of helping hands, one of the most important elements of attracting a talented, dedicated team member is writing your job ad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I like to think of the hiring process as a two-way street, or even a date. You\u2019re both on best behavior, showing off your best assets, seeing if you\u2019re compatible, and trying to impress the other to commit to a long-term kinda thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With a carefully-crafted job ad, you\u2019ll not only hit everything the candidate is looking for in a position, but you\u2019ll also *gently* prep them for what you expect from them too. Being open, honest, and showing off your company culture straight off the bat, you’ll be able to get the right person for the job (and keep them in the role.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
