Wizehire may send you messages saying we changed your job title for SEO.

SEO (search engine optimization) refers to the use of keywords and phrases that search engines recognize in order to make your online content relevant and easily visible to job seekers. Keywords help job seekers find you. πŸ”

A well-optimized job title not only improves visibility on job boards but also ensures that the applicants who find your post are more likely to meet the qualifications and expectations of the role.

Applicants search for jobs using keywords from their resumes. Here is a simple way to get more visibility for your post:

Consider researching common industry keywords and incorporating them into your job title. Avoid vague or overly creative titles that may not align with what job seekers are searching for.

Hiring a Sales Manager? Instead of "Super Star Needed To Manage Our Team," use "Sales Manager" in your title. First 3 words in a job title must be keywords.

For example, if the role requires prior experience, use terms like "Senior," "Lead," or "Specialist." For entry-level positions, use terms like "Assistant," "Junior," or "Coordinator." Avoid jargon or internal company terms that may confuse potential applicants.

Wizehire wants you to make the best hire in the least amount of time. It starts by getting your post in front of job seekers.

By using clear and concise job titles, you not only increase visibility but also attract candidates who are better suited for the role, reducing the number of unqualified applicants.

The easiest way to get your job post seen? Keep job titles simple and save flashy words for the job description. πŸ‘

Flashy words include terms like "Rockstar," "Guru," or "Ninja," which may not align with common search terms. Instead, use straightforward titles that clearly describe the role.
