Important Advise Regarding Job Titles
We spend 1 - 2
hours every night manually screening all jobs posted for our partner sites. We
often email our clients suggestions about their postings. Many of the
suggestions we make are related to job title. We understand that your job title
can be the single biggest factor that will affect your response.
People
often look up jobs on our site (using our advanced search feature) or various
partner sites by job title. To receive maximum response, it is imperative that
you keep this in mind when creating your job title. If you're looking for a
Registered Nurse and just use Registered Nurse in your job title, a job seeker
will not find the job
if they do a keyword search for RN. If you just use RN
in your job title, a job seeker will not find the job doing a keyword search for
Registered Nurse. Keep this is mind regardless of your job title. If there is
more than 1 keyword in the job title that people may search for, make sure you
incorporate this into your title. We allow you an unlimited number of characters
in the job title field, so please take advantage of this to increase your
response.
Think like a job seeker. If you feel that a Nurse will look for
a job by looking for Nursing, Registered Nurse, or RN, make sure you create a
title that includes all 3 keywords, and you'll triple your
response.
Also, please spell out your words. If you are looking for a Lab
Tech, and you post your job as such, someone looking for a job that types in
Laboratory Technologist is not going to find your job. However, if you
type
in Laboratory Technologist, someone will find it if they type in Lab
Tech or Laboratory Technologist. The reason for this is that Lab is contained in
the word Laboratory, and Tech is contained in the word Technologist.
However,
Laboratory is not contained in the word Lab, and Technologist is not contained
in the word Tech.
