How to eliminate the best candidates
From a recent, very poorly written job posting:
We need this done very quickly, in a matter of days
I am amazed at the number of job postings that have phrases similar to this.
Employers: sounding desperate will only help you find desperate candidates–those that need work immediately and are willing to put up with desperate clients. Anyone that has time to do your work immediately is likely short-changing their current clients (hint: you will eventually be the current client), or doesn’t have any current clients–either of which should raise a red flag.
Take a deep breath and rewrite your job posting in a way that makes you sound like a professional. You’ll get interest from a lot better candidates.
