Hiring and retaining employees begins with the job posting and the Public Service Announcement (PSA) process. Crafting clear, compelling job postings and PSAs is the first step in attracting the right candidates. These postings and PSAs set expectations and provide a glimpse into the company culture, helping potential employees determine if they are a good fit. A well-structured job posting or PSA not only draws in qualified applicants but also sets the stage for long-term retention by ensuring that new hires have a clear understanding of their roles and the company's values from the very start.
To get started, we encourage you to first explore the job aid that explains the differences between a job posting and a public service announcement (PSA). Understanding these distinctions is crucial for effective communication in your recruitment efforts.
Next, consider signing up for the face-to-face class, Dynamic Postings & Strategic Strategies, to enhance your skills in crafting compelling job announcements.
