A fresh approach to our job ads

With the challenges of finding great candidates in the current labour short market, innovation is key!
We’ve been a bit creative over these last few weeks with our job ads and the feedback from both employers and applicants has been outstanding!
Melanie recently worked with the team at Adelaide Retaining Walls to recruit a Personal Assistant/ Customer Liaison and was really pleased to provide the Director’s with a shortlist of four brilliant candidates within a couple of weeks (almost unheard of in the current market!).
Additionally, three out of the four shortlisted candidates hadn’t applied to any other positions and were motivated to apply purely because of how the ad was written, perfectly capturing the culture, benefits and feel of the organisation.
One of our clients even said they were “thinking of applying for the role” themselves, what a great result!

And when that happens, even the most well-intentioned job ad can unintentionally work against you.
Keeping great employees isn’t just about perks. Here are four strategies that can help you build a team that sticks around.
