The modern job advertisement from A-Z

Convince the right people to apply and deter the wrong ones

This training is held in German.
The job ad is dead? Not at all! Do you finally want to improve the topicality, structure, quality level and performance of your job ads? Then our training course is just right for you. Despite creative counter-movements, the job ad is still the first in-depth and conscious point of contact with a potential new job for the majority of applicants and is one of the most important recruiting channels of all. That's why your job advertisement shouldn't read like a standardized mishmash, but should instead score points with structure, topicality, creativity and logic - even with storytelling! The aim of job advertisements is to encourage the right people to apply - in an authentic, modern and honest way.

The central HR all-purpose weapon with the internal lens: job description with requirements profile

This is where you lay the foundations for central HR processes - from recruiting, onboarding and personnel development to remuneration, references and separation. In this format, you will develop clearly structured job descriptions with up-to-date tasks and a comprehensible design. You will learn time-saving methods, smart (AI) tools and practical formulation aids. For more ease in the creation process, better cooperation with the specialist department and a strengthened HR role.

 

The format for external visibility: The modern job ad from A-Z

Our practice-oriented favorite for anyone who wants to attract the right talent with modern, accurate job ads. Learn how to use language, structure and tools to appeal to your target group and turn your job advertisement into a real flagship. Ideal for anyone who wants to make a quick impact on the market.

Both formats can be booked independently of each other, depending on where you currently see the greatest leverage in your HR work.
