Searching for your recruit on the Internet can be a relatively easy process, provided you know how to search.

Keywords play an important role in today's e-recruitment. It is essential for you to understand the concept of keywords, whether you are searching resumés on the Internet to find a job applicant or constructing your job ads to be posted on career Web sites.

Keywords are important to your job ad.

By using keyword searches, you can find suitable job candidates faster and in higher volumes on the Internet than any other employee search method.

You can help the right candidate locate your electronic ad by using keywords to describe the position. Try to list terms that potential candidates might use to define the job they want. All positive aspects of the job should be included. When the job seekers enter those words into the search fields, they will find a match with your Internet job description. For example:

  • IBM S/390 MVS environment
  • Using COBOL, CICS and DB2
  • Web-based programmimg using Cold Fusion
  • Change platform of client files from VSAM to DB2 database
  • Salary $55,000+
  • Bachelor's degree

Typical job seekers are only going to think of a few words (in occupation-specific terminology) to describe the positions they want, so be sure to include the most alluring components of the position including its unique duties and required skills (include industry buzz words), the geographic location, the community or other positive aspects of the job, when creating your Internet job description. This method will allow you to capture the widest possible audience and produce the greatest number of hits.
