Education | Best Practices In a recent Monster survey of more than 450 Sales professionals, respondents were asked

several questions about how they evaluate a potential job opportunity.

The responses reveal the importance of writing a concise and accurate job description. A

well-written job posting will ideally lead to a more relevant pool of candidates.

Respondents were asked what the most

important criteria was in their job

assessment process. Sales professionals

noted the essential criteria included:

1. Compensation

2. Location

3. Reputation of employer

4. Work/life balance and flexibility

Include criteria which are viewed as

essential to job seekers within a job

posting in order to attract the most

relevant candidates.

Sales professionals were asked about their

biggest frustrations, if any, with advertised

Sales jobs. The greatest frustrations

included:

1. Lack of response from employers

2. Inflated requirements

3. Omission of key criteria

4. Vague job descriptions

Eliminate potential recruiting barriers

that job seekers/candidates’ indicate are

their biggest frustrations.

Respondents rated the structure of a job

posting in order of importance:

1. Requirements

2. Qualifications

3. Job Title

4. About the Company

5. Summary Information

6. Company Name (Logo/Picture)

7. Benefits

Structure job postings in the order in

which job seekers/candidates read a

posting so the posting has the highest

impact.

Sales professionals rated the following job

criteria in order of importance:

1. Salary, Salary, Salary

2. Quality & Security of the Company

3. Location

4. What's the Work Environment Like?

5. Corporate Culture

6. Schedule/Hours - Could be PT/Flexible

Hours

Include information that job seekers

deem important so that they can fairly

evaluate opportunities.
