The days of the generic help wanted ad are over – or at least they should be. “Looking for a self-motivated team player” may or may not draw good applicants to your job opening. But those words are so vague – and so tired!
Let’s face it – most folks have a rather standardized picture of a library job – and that might be exactly the position you are trying to fill. But it might not be!
In this 60-minute webinar, we’ll dig much deeper, digging into the who and why: What should you ask yourself before posting the job? What details should you include in a job posting that will attract the people who might actually be a good fit?
Getting the widest range of applicants may not always be the wisest avenue to finding the best fit. Perhaps if we narrow our search, we’ll save time. Potentially, we may even save ourselves some frustration and disappointment – if we hire right the first time!
