Whilst there are so many different ways that you can advertise an estate agency job vacancy these days, arguably, one of the most effective ways to do so is by posting an advertisement online. It is fair to say that in this digital day and age the vast majority of candidates will look online for new jobs and you stand a much better chance of filling your vacancy within a decent time frame if you post an advertisement online.
When creating an advertisement for an estate agent job, it goes without saying that there are a few important things to highlight. There are some details that people looking for a new job at an estate agency will want to know before they apply for a vacancy and if you don’t clearly list these, you run the risk of potentially losing out on good candidates. So, when creating an online advertisement, make sure that you include the following;
The location of the position
It goes without saying really that you need to ensure that you include the location of the job in the advertisement. Often, job location is a make or break factor for potential candidates and they will carefully consider the location before deciding whether or not to apply for the vacancy. So, make sure you’re not being vague in this regard.
What the starting salary is
Of course, for many candidates, salary will be incredibly important too and you should always include the starting salary in your advertisement. If there is the potential for a candidate to be offered more than this starting salary, make sure you include a salary range, this may help you to receive more applications from suitable candidates.
The job type
Whenever you’re creating a job advertisement for an estate agent job, you must make sure that you’re stating the job type. For example, is it a full-time job, part-time job or casual work? If the contract is only for a specific length of time then it is very important to mention this too. You will find that all of these things influence a candidate's decision to apply.
Any required skills for the job
To help make sure that you only receive applications from suitable candidates, you should always clearly indicate what skills are required for the job role. You may also have a list of desirable skills as well, and if so, make sure you highlight these separately. This gives potential candidates the opportunity to check if they will be right for a job or not.
What the day-to-day activities are
Many candidates like to have an idea of what their daily working life would be like if they were to get a job, so for this reason, you should list the roles and tasks that the position entails so that candidates will know what’s expected of them. Try to be as honest as you can in this regard, it will help to prevent a high employee turnover rate.
The ideal start date
It is always beneficial to mention a start date when you’re creating an advertisement, even if you simply need someone ASAP. If you’re trying to find a candidate to cover an employee’s maternity leave, for example, and there is a specific start date in a few weeks or months time, then make sure that you clearly state this too.
Any additional benefits
In addition to mentioning the salary in your job advertisement, you should also mention any additional benefits of the job or perks that come with working for your estate agency. You will likely find that these things are what makes your advertisement stand out from the crowd and tempts suitable candidates to apply.
