Marketing Tips and Tricks

Make your advertisement stand out and be clear with your candidates about what you are looking for. Team Player means a lot of things to a lot of people. You can narrow your candidate pool just with the job description, by taking the time to express what kind of team your candidates can expect to work with and some of the qualities you are looking for in a new hire.

These are words that describe things outside of skills and knowledge that we want to add to our teams. Feel free to use these sentences (or make them your own) when building out your job advertisements.
