What’s next after posting your job ad? 

So you’ve successfully published your job ad to all the best free job posting sites. Congrats! 🥂

Before you move on to the next task on your to-do list, be warned: many hiring managers make the mistake of posting their job descriptions and walking away, without thinking about the next crucial step for candidates.

Here are 3 key follow-up steps to take after posting your job ad: 

  • Set up custom Pipeline Stages so you can visually manage candidates across all stages of the hiring funnel. 
  • Stage and schedule automated emails to be sent to candidates as they progress from one stage to the next. (This tip will win you tons of favor with candidates! 😍)
  • Draft your interview questions. Then, lay out an interview scorecard to help reduce bias and keep all interviewers on the same page.

By the way, did you know that structured interviews have been shown to accurately predict performance 26% of the time? Check out our employer’s guide to a structured interview process and find out how it’s done.
