How to Make Your Job Postings More Attractive for Applicants

With job hunting in full swing, here are some dos and don’ts that companies should remember in order to make their job postings more attractive.

Good news! More job opportunities are up for grabs since the pandemic! Believe it or not, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the employment rate here in the Philippines as of September 2022 is at 95%. That's a 3.9% increase from the 91.1% employment rate recorded in September 2021!

But wait, there's more. Unemployment has gone down to 5% in September 2022 compared to the 8.9% rate recorded in September 2021. This definitely has a good impression on those in the labor market looking to be hired.

However, we all know that despite these good numbers, applying for a job and subsequently getting hired are easier said than done. Meanwhile, hiring is just as competitive for companies, given the many postings and opportunities now available.
