Job Posting Tips

Students tell us that they tend to be most interested in job postings that provide them with the clearest understanding of: what the challenges and opportunities of the job are, what the work environment is like, and how the position fits into the organizational structure.

To attract the right applicants your posting should:

• Provide an overview of your company and work culture;
• Define the key duties and responsibilities that the new hire would have;
• Identify the main challenges and/or opportunities the position offers;
• Specify the minimum "must have" qualifications an applicant needs to have;
• Identify any additional "nice to have" qualifications that would be considered an asset; and
• Indicate the key competencies you are looking for applicants to display.

If required our Employer Relationship Managers (ERM) can assist you in developing your job posting. Please contact your ERM or email HireEngineering@ualberta.ca for assistance.
