Using the wrong phrases in your job title\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d258c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d258c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">One of the biggest mistakes made by recruiters is using the wrong phrases in a job title. When it comes to the matter of job-seekers searching for a possible job role, they most likely already have an idea of the position they\u2019re targeting for.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This means that the designation or job title is crucial to your job posting showing up on their search enquiry. Make sure it\u2019s not too specific or unique that it doesn\u2019t get searched easily.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">For example, Glassdoor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/sitedirectory\/title-jobs.htm\"><span class=\"s1\">directory of jobs<\/span><\/a> shows that \u2018administrative assistants\u2019 and \u2018office assistants\u2019 are more popular job titles as compared to \u2018office superstar\u2019. If you want to showcase your company\u2019s unique job titles, you should include it in the description instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Go for something a little more general but more importantly, something that is specific to the job responsibilities!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-347a527 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"347a527\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"process\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d08435 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d08435\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2. Providing a complex application process\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afe3fa8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"afe3fa8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Similarly, having a complex application process can take a huge hit on the number of job applications coming in. Too many forms to fill out or too many interview stages can be troublesome for candidates.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It also means that a business competitor can easily hire this job candidate within the long time frame that the said application process could take.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Plus, the easiest way to get more job applicants is to make it efficient for them to submit an application! Ensure that your application portal is mobile-friendly (using a job board with a mobile app helps!); research back in 2015 showed that over half of job seekers used their mobile phones to fill out job applications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">You can make sure that you\u2019re also able to easily access the information by linking all the data collected in one place. Your application link should connect directly to your own ATS; if not, you can use a <a href=\"https:\/\/grabjobs.co\/recruitment-platform\/\"><span class=\"s1\">multi-channel job posting tool<\/span><\/a>, which will post your job advertisement across different job boards, while linking back to the same ATS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In other words, cut out on unnecessary procedures. Simplify the process. Hold only enough interview sessions <i>needed<\/i> to understand the candidate\u2019s experience and qualifications required to meet the job scope. And you\u2019re all set.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c8815d elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"7c8815d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"wrong\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4bf0ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a4bf0ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

Some end up splitting their advertising in too few places while others put it out on too many.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If you\u2019re unsure of which job boards are the most relevant, choose a job portal that can do multi-channel job posting on your behalf. Most recruiters <a href=\"https:\/\/grabjobs.co\/recruitment-platform\/8-steps-to-maximize-your-number-of-job-applicants\/\"><span class=\"s1\">waste a lot of their time<\/span><\/a> manually posting on different job boards. Only to then spend time sifting through unqualified applicants.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As mentioned earlier, a multi-channel job posting tool will do the mass posting on your behalf. While ensuring that the applications are all collated on the same platform.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">You could also use a job portal that provides a direct link to a pre-screening job interview through an <a href=\"https:\/\/grabjobs.co\/recruitment-platform\/\"><span class=\"s1\">interview chatbot<\/span><\/a>; this helps to rank your entire list of applicants based on most relevant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Of course, you shouldn\u2019t forget the most important thing: consistent tracking of your best-performing channels. Use a trackable link to see which job advertisements and job boards are doing the best, and utilize your resources there instead.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c103d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9c103d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.
