How To Write A Strong Job Advert

Make your job description clear and appealing to attract the best candidates

✅ Step 1: Include Both Hard and Soft Skills

To attract the right people, it’s important to list the skills needed for the job.

Hard skills are teachable or technical abilities.
(Example: Microsoft Excel, CPR certification, knowledge of SAP software)
Soft skills are personal traits that help someone succeed at work.
(Example: Good communication, problem-solving, teamwork)

Tips:

Be specific about what skills are truly needed.
Don’t list too many—keep it focused. Too many skills can scare people away.

✅ Step 2: List the Main Responsibilities

Tell candidates exactly what the person in this role will do.

Use short bullet points.
Mention any tasks that are unique to your company.

Example:
If you're hiring an Event Manager and they also need to handle social media, be sure to include that.

✅ Step 3: Describe Daily Tasks and Work Life

Help the candidate picture a day in the life of this job.

What will they do every day?
What kind of environment is it? (e.g., office, remote, fast-paced, team-based)
Who will they work with?

This helps candidates decide if they’re a good fit—and saves you time by attracting the right people.

✅ Step 4: Explain How the Role Fits into the Company

Let the candidate know:

Who they will report to (e.g., team lead, department manager)
How this role supports the company’s goals

This makes the role feel more meaningful and gives people a reason to care.
