What is a Job Posting?
A job posting (or job advertisement) is a public listing that describes an open position within an organisation. It typically includes the job title, responsibilities, required qualifications, location, compensation details, and information about the company and its culture. Job postings are distributed across various channels including company career sites, job boards, social media platforms, and professional networks.
Why it matters
The job posting is often the first impression a candidate has of your company. A poorly written or vague posting attracts the wrong candidates and repels the right ones. A well-crafted posting does more than list requirements: it sells the opportunity, communicates your employer brand, and pre-qualifies applicants by being specific about expectations. Optimising job postings for search engines (SEO) also dramatically increases their visibility to passive candidates browsing online.
