Put you best foot forward, from the get-go!
(Application Hero)If a Hiring Manager / Recruiter asks you to call following receipt of your job application, reach out proactively! Responding with something like “I’m free now, if you want to call me” can send the wrong message. Show your eagerness and professionalism by following instructions – the requirement to call may be a part of the broader job responsibilities, and failure to do so could misrepresent your overall approach to work.
Recruiting Tip - Advertise Salary Ranges
(Hiring Trailblazer)Failing to advertise salary ranges can significantly deter candidates from applying. Research indicates that 61% of UK job seekers (TotalJobs Survey) are less likely to apply for a role if the salary is not disclosed.
Recruiting Tip - Timely Communication
(Hiring Trailblazer)Keep candidates informed throughout the hiring process. Prompt communication helps maintain interest and demonstrates your professionalism and commitment to employees (or prospective employees!). “Poor communication in recruitment biggest 'red flag' for candidates” – HR Magazine
Recruiting Tip - Clear Job Descriptions
(Hiring Trailblazer)Write detailed and clear job descriptions to attract suitable candidates. Specify the essential skills, responsibilities, and qualifications to set accurate expectations.
Research the Company
(Interview Winner)Before an interview, research the company thoroughly. Understand their mission, values, and recent news to demonstrate your genuine interest.
Prepare for Interviews
(Interview Winner)Practice common interview questions and answers. Prepare examples from your past experiences that showcase your skills and accomplishments. Take a look at this - Preparing for your interview
Follow Up!
(Application Hero)After an interview, send a thank-you email to express your appreciation and reiterate your interest in the position.
Stay Organised!
(Application Hero)Keep track of your job applications, interviews, and follow-up activities. Use a spreadsheet or job search app to stay organised and ensure no opportunity is missed... maybe follow up applications with an email?!
Best email sign-offs
(Job Search Pro)When applying for a job, your email sign-off is crucial. It should reflect professionalism without being too personal. Don't go with... Sent from My iPhone, Thx, Cheers, Take Care, Thanks in Advance... try: Warm Regards, Looking Forward, Best Wishes or Your Name instead.
Professional Email Address
(Application Hero)Use a professional email address for job applications... [email protected] or [email protected] may be quite amusing, but probably will not set the best first impression!
