Episode notes
Audit Your Offer First
- Do audit your own offer before posting jobs and ask: 'Would you choose you?'.
- Improve pay, benefits, safety, and meaningful perks before you recruit to avoid wasting time and money.
Market The Job Like A Storefront
- Treat job sites like storefronts and headline differentiators on Indeed (e.g., No On-Call).
- Promote guarantees like a 40-hour week and use paid distribution so candidates actually see the posting.
Use Stability As A Recruiting Hook
- Advertise guarantees like 'Guaranteed 40 hours' to appeal to candidates seeking stability in 2025.
- Use benefits that solve why candidates leave (stability, consistent hours) as marketing hooks.
