How to write job posts that attract top freelancers

Writing a good job listing can be as hard as solving a puzzle with missing pieces. And while jigsaw puzzles might be fun, when it comes to your business, you want certainty. When you hire a freelancer, it's crucial to ensure you're talking to the correct one. A single mistake could cause you to lose out on top talent.

Welcome to our guide on mastering the art of job listings. Through this post, we will help you craft the ultimate call-out to top freelancers in New Zealand.

The Problem: Writing a Good Job Post Can Be Tough

We've all been there. You sit down to write a job post, and the words just don't come out right. You start wondering, "Should I say how much I'll pay? How much should I explain about the job? Do I sound formal or friendly?"

Let's break down those common mistakes:

• Too Much Detail: It's good to be clear, but if you say too much, some might feel overwhelmed. When a job post is super long, some people might skip over it, thinking it's too complicated. And you miss out on potentially great hires.
• Too Vague: On the other hand, if you're too brief, people might get confused. They might wonder, "Is this job right for me?" or "Do I understand what they want?" If they're unsure, they might not apply, and you lose out again.
• Missing Important Info: This one's tricky. Forgetting to mention things like how long the job lasts or what specific skills are needed can lead to problems. You could end up with applications from people who aren't a good fit. That means you'll spend more time sorting through them and less time talking to the right candidates.

So, what's the result of these mistakes? Lots of businesses end up redoing their job posts over and over, trying to find the perfect words. It's like going in circles, and it can make hiring way more stressful than it needs to be.

The Results: Problems from Bad Job Posts

When you make a bad job post, you face more challenges:

• Too Many Wrong Replies: Getting a lot of applications sounds good. But if they're from the wrong people, it becomes a big problem.
• Bad Hires: If you pick someone from these wrong applications, you might have problems working together. This can lead to mistakes and a lot of talking to fix them.
• Wasted Time: Think about the time you use fixing job posts, looking at the wrong applications, and trying to work with a bad match. You could use that time to help your business grow instead.

In short, a bad job post can cause many problems. It wastes time and can hurt your business. But there's good news: we have a way to help.
