Attracting the best candidates for your job role all begins with writing the finest job advert to promote your vacancy. 
 
You need to consider the following key points. 
• What you want as a company from the job advert. 
• What candidates require from the job advert. 
• How to make your advert stand out from the others. 
 
With the current unlocking across the UK, we have seen an increase in the number of vacancies that we are working on. If you are deciding to run your own recruitment projects without using an external supplier, how can you avoid making the most common mistakes in recruitment and miss bringing in the best people for your positions? 
 
Mistake number 1: Focussing on qualifications and experience rather than relevant skills 
 
There have been some really big changes to the recruitment market over the pandemic with some sectors all but having disappeared whereas others have continued to thrive. If you can be clear as to the skills that you want to bring into your company then make sure that you are sifting candidates based on this rather experience. There are really big advantages to bringing in skills from a different area as these candidates will bring a fresh perspective to your business. For example, someone from the travel industry could bring a whole new view on customer services and client management to financial services.
