Provide Timeline in Your Ad

Posting Tip:
Provide a timeline in your job posting for when you expect the hiring process to be completed.
Have the dates in the ad:
1. when applications need to be submitted by,
2. when interviews begin,
3. when final decision is expected to be made.
Obviously the “best laid plans never survive first contact with the enemy,” when it comes to knowing exactly when a hire is going to be made, however having these items in the ad can be of benefit in two ways:
1. If a job seeker knows how long the hiring process is, that will help them plan their follow up for thank you cards, letters and emails. They will know how long to wait before looking for any kind of response from the prospective company about the position they applied for.
2. It saves you the time it takes to answer inquiries from job seekers calling about a position before the hiring timeline is complete.
Have a great week!
