How to write an IT job ad that actually brings candidates
A well-written IT 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 the United States only 15 of the 33 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. “Data Analyst” 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 3 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.
Writing the ad well solves the first half. The second is what happens to the resumes once they arrive: among 33 searches running in the United States, a candidate nobody moved in a week is already in another process.
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.
Beyond the board, the free account includes more than 30 ready-made assessments — aptitude, knowledge and profile, at basic, intermediate and advanced levels; profile tests such as Big Five or RIASEC are indicative — plus your own assessments with your own questions. It adds a Career Site for your company website, blind resumes and integrations with your calendar, Slack, Teams, Google Sheets and an API. And applications to the job move to its ATS requisition on their own, or in one click.
All of it free, no credit card, up to 10 active jobs.
