Top Tips on posting your role on AdminJobs.ie

Top tips to follow when posting jobs to www.AdminJobs.ie  

*    Always use salary bracket. (Even "35-70K / 200-400 per day depending on experience" is fine)  If you don't, then don't expect any CV’s.   (Try looking on a website for a house or a car with no price guides - what would you do - just skip to the next one.)

*   Most employers tell us they are finding their best candidates from our CV database - please see other template "Saw your CV on....

*    Redate / Update the job listing on AdminJobs.ie every day - or as much as possible - to stay on top of the listings so your job doesn't get buried to the bottom. 

*    Make the job title stand out - "Office Manager" v's "Office Administrator” - Share options, beside LUAS, training". 

*    Make sure if your Admin role is for a person who may fall into 2 categories, then select 2 categories.  Eg. Office Manager / Administrator

*    Make sure if your looking for a mid level candidate, use both 1-5 years experience and 5-10 years exp as some candidates include college work as part of their "year’s experience."

*    Use your company logo; it gives jobseekers more confidence to see a "brand". 

*    USP - Outline the company history/ function/ size / locations / clients / industry, paint the picture  of your company for your ideal candidate.
Sell your company. Why would someone want to work there? What makes you different - What are your unique selling points - USP's, is it location, extra training certification, new technologies, etc.

*    If you're a recruitment agency, how long established, size of company, location, specialist areas, type of clients. Basically anything that will give an Admin professional peace of mind that they are dealing with a reputable agency with a good track record in Admin recruitment.
 
*    The Job spec: Make sure, in collaboration with other relevant managers, that you have written the strongest possible job description.  Duties, Responsibilities, Skills Required, Potential opportunities.

*    Perks.  Describe all extras in the salary package, all benefits.  Casual dress code, Bus / train / travel allowance, canteen, share options, training, 4 weeks holidays, 20 days sick leave, pension, health, laptop, work from home on occasion is a biggie  ., for sales, car  type  (brand, year, colour) or mileage package - Bonus Plans etc.

*    "Please apply" aspect is very encouraging, friendly and informal. Stress confidentiality. Include all contact details in the job body - email, direct phone number, inc mobile for after hours "give me a call for a confidential chat" or "leave a message on my mobile" "completely confidential" etc.  This might just catch your ideal candidate who is in the mood to apply then and there.

*     Type at least 10 keywords / Buzz words  specific to your job in the Keyword section of the job posting form so they come up in searches specific to the industry / job / company / products. (These keywords are hidden in your job description) eg. Administrator / Account Person required for a leading organisation within the IT Industry might include the words, Admin / Administrator / Accounts / Office Manager etc

*     Move very quickly if you see someone who looks good; remember if you don't, chances are your competition is.
 
*     Make sure you have all necessary paperwork, NDA's (non disclosure agreements), letter of offer, hire approval, package details, relevant managers available for interview, start dates, acceptable reference checking procedures. This all shows professionalism and also makes sure you don't loose a strong candidate due to delay.  Remember if someone has decided to move jobs, the chances are he / she is also probably talking with 3-4 other companies / agencies.
 
         
Sell the job with everything you can offer.
