do you have a career page? Could you find them? *if you
cant how do you thing a candidate does
Review Indeed – boring? Findable?
Review Glassdoor? How are you doing?
Are you a great place to work? Do your Job descriptions say so?
OLD: long ugly document that was created by a lawyer to protect you from being sued when you fire someone for not doing their job
NEW: Add a link in the body of the add OLD: A list of skills – boring and not really a
representation of your company/culture (not a Ad either)
NEW: A well written Job Profile/description can increase your application by 250% over night. Why do people want to work here? Speak to your Target Employee?

content for each pool – grow your awareness by engaging them; Remember they might be customers or know customers
