How to write an sales job ad that actually brings candidates
A well-written sales ad does not attract more candidates: it attracts fewer and better ones. That is the goal — every application that does not fit is your team’s time spent reviewing it.
- State the salary range. In Tanzania only 4 of the 81 openings do, so doing it sets you apart immediately and saves the interviews that collapse over money at the end.
- Use the title people search for. “Sales Executive” pulls more applications than an internal label like “Commercial Executive II”, which nobody types into a search box.
- Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves. Twelve requirements with no hierarchy make the good candidate rule themselves out over item eleven.
- Say the work mode, the schedule and the city in the first lines. Those three decide whether someone can take the job at all, and hiding them at the end only moves the drop-off later.
- Describe what the person does on a normal day. Three concrete tasks beat a paragraph about company culture.
- Reply fast. An application with no answer after three days is already looking elsewhere.
Common mistakes when hiring in this area
- Asking for more years of experience than the job needs. Here the average asked is 1 years; every extra year shrinks the pool and raises the expected salary without improving performance.
- Posting the same opening several times to “gain visibility”. It splits applications across two ads and neither looks complete.
- Leaving the opening live without moving candidates. Silence reads as rejection and they leave, even if to you they are still under review.
Getting applications from salespeople is the easy part. The hard part is not losing the two or three good ones among all the CVs, and a mail folder does not solve that.
The full ATS, at no cost
An ATS is the system where the candidates for a job are kept in order: who applied, what stage each one is at and who is still waiting for an answer. Saplic includes its own in full — the one others charge per user per month for — for up to 10 active jobs.
All of it free, no credit card, up to 10 active jobs.
