Candidates also are drawn to ads that include compensation information, including salary and benefits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>3. &nbsp; Use keywords in your job postings. <\/strong>Keywords will give your job posting higher ranking in the search engines, like Google. They recommend keyword research, looking for terms a qualified job seeker is likely to search to find a position you\u2019re advertising. The more specific your keywords are, the more likely you are to attract qualified candidates. For example, you may want to use a key phrase like \u201cSales manager in Atlanta\u201d. That\u2019s the kind of question a job seeker will enter when looking for a specific position in a specific location.<a href=\"https:\/\/hiring.monster.com\/employer-resources\/recruiting-strategies\/talent-acquisition\/search-engine-optimization\/\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>4. &nbsp; Make your ad engaging.<\/strong> A job posting should never be a simple list of responsibilities and requirements. Write your ad in a way that will make your company a compelling place to work. Point out company culture, fringe benefits and future prospects, for example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>5. &nbsp; Take advantage of the Performance Boost feature.<\/strong> It\u2019s available on the Standard and Premium plans, and will send your job posting out to hundreds of other job sites, as well as Military.com, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For more information, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careercloud.com\/news\/monster-review\" >Monster review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h3>Can you post a job for free on Monster?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">You can, but only as part of the four-day free trial with each subscription. If you sign up for the Starter plan you can post one job; for the Standard plan, you can post up to three jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is the best way to advertise a job vacancy?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Exactly how you\u2019ll advertise any job will depend on the nature of the position. For example, if it\u2019s a highly technical job, it should be advertised on targeted job boards. You can also consider advertising in popular trade publications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For more general positions, the major job boards are the first stop. You can also consider advertising on popular social media sites, like Linked In and Facebook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What do you say when posting a job?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s certainly a challenge for anyone who\u2019s never posted a job ad before. Though it will be a little bit different for each position, as well as for the specific requirements of your business, you can take advantage of the Job Description Templates available on the website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There are hundreds available, and they cover just about every common position. Even if the job you\u2019re posting doesn\u2019t have a specific template, you can choose one that\u2019s closely related, and follow the same format.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/track.flexlinkspro.com\/g.ashx?foc=16&amp;foid=1.44607.1000000010&amp;fos=5&amp;fot=9999&amp;trid=1149783.188897\" >Monster<\/a> is one of the biggest players in the job board field and should produce positive results for most jobs.
