Crafting an Online Retail Job Advert

If you are looking for retail staff, the best place to go is an online retail recruitment website. They offer a fast, efficient and cost effective way for firms to find staff, and for job seekers to find work.

Take the time to find a website that specialises in retail recruitment. Doing so will save you both time and money. Job seekers who are looking for retail work tend to turn to these websites first when they are looking for work. This means that practically 100% of applicants will be enthusiastic about working in retail, and that the majority will have prior retail experience. This will substantially speeding up your recruitment process, and stop you having to bin a significant percentage of applications.

Writing Your Post

However, finding the right website is not the end of the story. You have to bear in mind that your job will be just one of many in a retail recruitment website’s database. There are a lot of firms looking for retail personnel. Your post needs to stand out from the rest and appeal to the kind of person you are looking for.

When writing your post bear in mind that people tend to skim read. You need to craft your job posting to tell potential applicants as much about the role as possible, in as few words as possible. Listing responsibilities or requirements, rather than writing them out in a paragraph is worth doing if the site you are posting your job advert on allows this format. This is because it is far easier to skim read a list than it is a paragraph.

Make sure that you include your branding on your job post, if you are allowed to do so. This will make your advert more memorable, and may help candidates to go off and find out more about your company before applying.

Choose the Right Recruitment Site

Look for a well-established retail recruitment website that ranks well in the search engine. Make sure that their website is easy for job seekers to search. Once you have posted your job try to find it. If you cannot find it easily, consider editing the category or title of your job post to make it easier to find.

If you need staff consider using the www.retailchoice.com retail recruitment listings website. Posting jobs is relatively inexpensive and the process is quick and easy to follow.
