Employers are encouraged to support the success of the search by…
- Posting the job opening on your own website and promoting it in your social media.
- Providing a bias-reduced, inclusive, and equitable experience to attract a diverse talent base.
SUGGESTED CONTENT FOR YOUR JOB POSTING
- Describe the type of work the contractor will be doing, the expected capabilities and skills they should present, for what they will be responsible, and how they might interact with your team.
- Choose a title that’s appropriate to the experience level you’re seeking. “Junior” or “Entry Level” refers to 1-3 years. “Senior” is appropriate for about 5+ years. If you’re open to any experience level, use a straightforward title such as Graphic Designer.
- Share the anticipated number of hours per week this person will work.
- Include whether the work is to be accomplished remotely and on their own equipment or in your office on your hardware and software.
- Identify the time period during which this contract will run. e.g. Begins immediately and runs 3-6 months.
- Add a short paragraph toward the end of the job description that features your company.
- Ask applicants to supply their anticipated hourly rate. Also indicate what you plan to pay (can be a range) based on experience level and applicable skills.
- Confirm to whom you want candidates to apply, and with what materials beyond a cover letter and resume. Encourage them to outline how their experience reflects your need.
- To track whether candidates came through soladayolson.com, Heather suggests their email subject line be labeled “Job Title, Your Name > Referred by Soladay Olson.”
