Job ads as we knew them for years no longer meet the expectations of modern candidates.<\/p>

Job descriptions alone are insufficient to convince talent. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Candidates today are not just looking for information about job content and required competencies.<\/p>\n

Above all, they want to know:<\/p>\n

– What is the atmosphere within the team?
– What does daily practice look like?
– What values and culture characterize the organization?
– \u201cDo I see myself working here?\u201d<\/p>\n

So a good job posting should not only inform, but also inspire and touch emotionally. Context is essential here.<\/p>\n

A job posting that vividly describes what the workday looks like, who the colleagues are and the atmosphere is much more appealing to the imagination. Details about how to work together, leadership style and development opportunities also make a job posting more attractive and reliable.<\/p>\n

Organizations that make room for atmosphere, culture and team dynamics in their job postings attract candidates who match not only on job content, but also on values and work environment. This makes for more durable matches and lower attrition rates.<\/p>\n

In a job market where candidates have more and more choices, a job posting that shows the full picture makes the difference between applying or dropping out.<\/p>\n

The full report further explaining this trend is available for download.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Upon request, we also offer inspiration and innovation workshops<\/a> where we work on improving job postings with attention to atmosphere, team and culture.<\/p>

In addition, organizations can use the Candidate Experience Scan<\/a>, which assesses, among other things, the extent to which job postings match the expectations of modern candidates.<\/p>

A job posting that provides context tells not only what the position entails, but more importantly why candidates want to choose it.<\/p>
