Having Trouble Getting Candidates? Check Your Ad!

Having trouble getting candidates to respond to your ads, or at least the right candidates?

I've written several articles on writing good employment ads (including two below):

Confusing Job Ads Lead to Confused Candidates

Should Salary Be In Sales Job Ad

Here is one more idea:
Check how your ad looks on different platforms, devices and websites.

Here is one ad from a local company and how it appeared on their company website. Below that is the same ad after it was copied by Indeed.com, and aggregater job site that copies jobs from all kinds of job boards (with permission of course).

The ad that appears on the company website might be programmed correctly, however if they are using some template, format, or code that Indeed.com doesn't use, then that format will be stripped away. It's always good to double check all websites and platforms where your ad can appear.

Thanks!
