Successful Job Posting
RadWorking.com uses a proprietary formula that scores and ranks jobs on overall quality. This enhances the visibility of well composed jobs and reduces the visibility of poorly composed ones.
Similar to the way Google and Yahoo display the most relevant websites on the first page, we show visitors the most informative job postings first. Therefore, job listings are no longer affected by the date of entry. The first job listed in a given category will be that with the most relevant content.
To get the most exposure, spend some time on the copy. Also you will notice that this makes job listings more resistant to being filled with postings from a single client.
Jobs are weighted and ranked according to several criteria. The factors mentioned below apply to both physician and allied health jobs.
Quality Factors- Compensation
- Job Description
- Skills
- Job Numbers
- Job Title
- Facility Name
- Location – City
- Location - State
Compensation
Be specific. Use a broad salary/hourly range if necessary. We believe that specifying negotiable or "N/A" can almost always be avoided. This is because job postings should represent only one position. Therefore, the idea that a job's compensation is not measurable because it represents multiple opportunities or locations with multiple pay ranges should not exist. If the compensation truly is negotiable because it's based on experience and other factors, then explain this in the job description. Please note that we do not rank one job higher than another because it has a greater compensation. That is not our goal, accurate information is.
Job Description
Your job has the most potential to stand out and be unique through the information given in the job description. Give further details about any of the job's details (location, compensation, workload, skills, etc.). Mention 401Ks, tuition reimbursements, sign-on bonuses and other things candidates commonly do keyword searches for.
It's best to provide several sentences of information. Bullet points are not considered sentences.
Use rich text formatting (HTML) sparsely. Don't underline entire paragraphs or bold several sentences. Internet users are constantly bombarded with flashy ads and awful print formatting. Maintain a professional appeal both for your company and for the appearance of our website.
Avoid using duplicate information. For example, there is no need to post the contact name and phone number in the description field because there are contact information fields already. For clients who post multiple jobs on RadWorking.com, they should avoid duplicate information between jobs. Cutting and pasting descriptions between job posts is not recommended. We recognize that when jobs originate from the same company, some information could be exactly the same for each opportunity. We recommend that you use the company description field in your "My Account" settings to post information that consistently applies to all your job posts. This information is easily accessible to the candidates on your company jobs page.
Skills
Skill requirements should be carefully selected from the skill selection box, and not simply typed into the job description. We have removed the "Other – See Comments" selection from the skills area to enforce this.
Jobs are categorized into different sections based on the selection of skills. We do not scan the job description text for skill names when making the category associations. Although you may, and are encouraged to, expound on the selected job skills in the description area. Skills mentioned as requirements in the job description should always be selected as skills. Contact us if we have neglected to list a skill your opportunity requires.
You are encouraged to select the fewest number of skills necessary to accurately represent your opportunity. Simply selecting many skills in hopes of increasing your job's visibility will fail.
Job Numbers
Remember, it's preferred that one job post applies to one job opportunity only. So listing multiple job numbers should not be necessary.
Job Title
Job titles are designed to highlight important elements of the job or even to display a creative recruiting line. They are not useful for simply restating the job's location. If the position requires three modalities but one in greater measure than the others, use something similar to "Highly Skilled ..." to highlight that requirement. Highlight the facility location, attractions and amenities or compensation benefits. Do not type in all CAPS.
Facility Name
Terms such as "Unspecified", "Unknown", "N/A", and "Facility", and similar variations are not favored. If the facility name can not be revealed, specify facility types such as "Hospital", "Clinic", or "Imaging Center".
Location – City
Use specific city names or state regions such as "Dallas Metro". Do not place short sentences or non-location based information here.
Location – State
We understand that "Not Specified" is needed from time to time. However, all jobs should have region based information in the city field, such as "Southwest Hospital".
For many of our clients the new criterion seems like common sense and old news. If that's the case, then we applaud you. It indicates your desire to post quality job information and use the job fields the way they are intended. Others may have to make adjustments to their posting procedures. We know this may take some extra time, but be assured that this will improve your job's visibility to the right candidates.
We will be monitoring the job listings and tweaking our algorithms to ensure two things. One, that we are creating the best job listings for our visitors. And two, we are providing encouragement and incentives for clients to post the most accurate and informative data in their jobs.
