How can an employer improve their posting to attract more candidates?

To attract more candidates to your posting: 

  • Select the majors of candidates that should apply to the opportunity. Consider a wide range of majors, as some programs cover similar information and skills.  View a list of similar majors, or "parallel," majors. Including more majors in your posting will allow more candidates to apply.
  • Include as much detail as possible throughout the post. The more descriptive job postings tend to get more, and better qualified, applicants. 
  • Explain your application process. Candidates need to know how to apply for the position.
