Quality Job Ads Can Yield Quality Candidates

Job hunting in this economy for many is like finding a needle in a haystack. With the influx of people into the job market, it can be equally as demanding for an employer to find the right candidate as it is to find a job. Post a job listing? You can expect about half of them to be serial appliers – people who apply to every job they can, whether or not they have the right qualifications. According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, maybe it’s time for employers to spend more time writing a quality job ad. It turns out that a quality ad brings quality candidates. Who’d have thought it?
