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?
