Writing a Job Posting That Attracts the Right Candidates

Writing a Job Posting That Attracts the Right Candidates

Improve applicant quality with a transparent, welcoming, and practical opportunity description.

An effective posting clearly explains the work, required qualifications, location, schedule, compensation, and application process. Avoid unnecessary requirements that could discourage capable candidates.

Be transparent about northern work

State whether housing, relocation, travel, training, or rotational schedules are available. Describe the community and working conditions honestly so candidates can make an informed decision.

Use inclusive language and separate essential requirements from qualifications that can be learned on the job.
