When you post a new job on Hopward, you need to provide some essential information that will help us find the best candidates for your role. The more details you give, the more accurate and relevant our AI sourcing will be. Here are the main information fields that you need to fill out when you post a new job:

The job title should be clear, concise, and descriptive of the role. Avoid using vague or generic terms, such as “manager” or “developer”, and instead use specific and relevant keywords, such as “social media manager” or “front-end developer”. The job title should also reflect the seniority level and industry of the role, such as “senior accountant” or “junior graphic designer”.

The job description is where you can describe the main responsibilities, tasks, and expectations of the role. It should be informative and highlight the value and impact of the role for your company and the candidates. The job description should answer the following questions:

The years of experience field is where you can specify the minimum and maximum amount of relevant work experience that you expect from the candidates. This will help us filter out candidates who are either underqualified or overqualified for the role.

The seniority level field is where you can indicate the hierarchy and authority of the role within your company. By specifying whether the role is for an individual contributor or a managerial position, you enable us to match candidates with the appropriate level of responsibility and authority. This information plays a pivotal role in our talent acquisition process, ensuring that we avoid overqualified or underqualified profiles when targeting candidates.

The companies not to source from field is where you can list any companies that you do not want us to source candidates from. This can be useful if you want to avoid any conflicts of interest or ethical issues with your competitors or partners. You can enter multiple company names or URLs.

The industry background field is where you can specify the industry or sector that your company belongs to. This will help us find candidates who have relevant knowledge and experience in your field.

The location field is where you can indicate where the role is based or where you want the candidates to work from. This will help us find candidates who are willing and able to work in your desired location. You can enter a city name, a country name, or a region name, such as “New York”, “Canada”, “Europe”, etc. You can also specify if the role is remote or flexible.

In addition, we kindly request that you include a specific mile radius preference when your selected location is a city. This will allow us to narrow down the search results to candidates within your desired area. Please note that there may be instances where neighboring states are included in the search due to overlapping mile radius coverage.

The must-haves field is where you can list any hard or technical skills that are essential for the role. These are skills that can be measured or tested objectively, such as programming languages, software tools, certifications, etc. You should only include skills that are absolutely necessary for the role, and it is not recommended to add soft skills. You can enter up to 5 must-haves.

You can specify the minimum level of education that you require from the candidates. This will help us filter out candidates who do not meet your academic standards.

You can also detail the type of institution that you prefer the candidates to have graduated from, such as a specific university, college, or school. This will help us find candidates who have the most relevant and prestigious education for your role. However, you should only include this preference if it is essential for the role, and avoid any discrimination or bias based on educational background.

You can provide any extra information that you think might be helpful or relevant for the candidates or for us. This can include information about the company culture, the hiring process, the salary range, the work schedule, etc.

Company Size: Indicating the preferred company size for candidate selection will help us identify individuals who are better suited to your organization. This information ensures that we find candidates who align with your company’s culture, values, and even salary expectations.

Right to Work: You can also specify any important detail about the legal status or eligibility of the candidates to work for your company, such as visa sponsorship, work permits, citizenship, etc. This will help us find candidates who are more likely to accept your offer and avoid any potential issues or delays.

However, you should only include details that are necessary for the role, and avoid any discrimination or bias based on nationality, ethnicity, religion, etc. You can use a sentence or a phrase to describe your requirements, such as “Must have the right to work in the UK” or “No visa sponsorship available”.

Following these recommendations is crucial to ensure the quality and value of the candidate search.
