These days candidates are more selective about the job they want to apply for. So, to ensure maximum applications and views of your jobs from the best candidates, provide as much information as possible.

What kind of candidates do they generally hire, what are they looking for in a candidate. Because a little effort in getting the exact information will increase your chances of conversion considerably.

Our Instahyre Data Insights team suggest the following :

A detailed description of the job: Mention the roles and responsibilities of the job, it gives candidates an idea of the work that they are expected to do once they are hired. Even though a lot of companies hire for similar profiles/job positions the roles and responsibilities might be different.
