Spicing
Up Job Ads With HTML.
Brian
Weis
Have you ever seen an
internet job posting that had centered text, different
colored text and nice bulleted lists? Every wonder how
they did it? The answer is simple, the recruiter who
posted the job used html in the job posting form. HTML
is a web programming language and one of the easiest to
learn. (HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup
Language) You you do not have to be a computer
genius to learn and use html. Actually the basics needed
to spice up your job postings are very very simple.
Before we dive into the how to, lets examine the why and
where to use it.
Why use html in job
postings?
1) Better Formatting -
html allows for a better formatted job description that
is easier to read and is very eye appealing.
2) Greater Response Rates
- better formatted postings yield better response rates.
Your ads will stand out and you will differentiate
yourself from your competition, the other ads.
Recruitment advertising is marketing 101...blah ads gets
blah response rates.
2) Add Links - Have you ever added a web address to your
job ad and it was just text and not an actual link? By
adding some simple code you can make those web addresses
live links. A great way to drive jobseekers back to your
company's website, your employment section or even your
application/resume submittal page.
3) Add Email Links - not
only can you link to your website but you can make email
links in your ads. You can create web links that are
live email links so a jobseeker can click on it to
generate an email. This will also increase your response
rates.
Where to use html?
1) In career sites -
almost every career site allows for html in their job
postings. Why not maximize the service provided?
2) In company profiles -
make your company profile stand out on a career site!
3) In you job postings on
your company's website - your company may have job
postings on its website. Many times these jobs postings
are simple and have basic formatting. By using html you
will be able to spice up your own internal job postings
on your company's site.
HTML Basics
1)
Bold Text:
For example - Sales Reps Wanted!
The code to output text in bold in the example is as
follows:
<b>Sales Reps Wanted!</b>
2)
Italics:
For example - No relocation available for this
position!
The code to output text in italics in the example is
as follows:
<i>No relocation available for this position!</i>
3)
Bullets:
For example - Experience Needed:
- Must have drivers
licenses
- Must have reliable
transportation
The code to output text
in a bulleted list in the example is as follows:
<li>Must have drivers licenses</li>
<li>Must have reliable transportation</li>
4)
Justifications - Center, Left or Right
For example -
This text
is centered!
The code to
centered text in the example is as follows:
<p align="center">This text is
centered!</p>
* If you
want to left justify use "left" and you
guessed it to right justify use "right".
5)
Add a Web Link:
For example - Visit
our home page!
The
code to output a hyperlink in the example is as follows:
<a
href="http://www.recruitersnetwork.com">Visit
our home page!</a>
6)
Add an Email Link:
For example - Email
Your Resume!
The code to output an
email link in
the example is
a follows.
<a
href="mailto:resume@rescruitersnetwork.com">Email
Your Resume!</a>
Conclusion
and Advance Tips
The
basics are extremely simple and taking the extra step to
format your jobs will payoff with higher qualified and
more candidates, which will yield in more
hires/placements. Experiment the next time you post a
position. It is even easier than it looks.
Once
you mastered the basics you can do more advanced things
like different color text and fonts. You can also embed
graphics/company logos in a job postings or a company
profile.
Here
are a list of sites that have comprehensive html basics.
