The best techniques for writing effective job advertisements are the same as for other forms of advertising. The job is your product; the readers of the job advert are your potential customers. The aim of the job advert is to attract interest, communicate quickly and clearly the essential (appealing and relevant) points, and to provide a clear response process and mechanism. Design should concentrate on clarity or text, layout, and on conveying a professional image. Branding should be present but not overbearing, and must not dominate the job advert itself. This article relates mainly to designing and writing job adverts to appear in printed newspapers an magazines media, although the principles apply to other media and methods. The information must be communicated effectively one way or another to the target audience. Job adverts and recruitment processes should follow the classical AIDA selling format: Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. This means that good job advertisements must first attract attention (from appropriate job-seekers); attract relevant interest (by establishing relevance in the minds of the ideal candidates); create desire (to pursue what looks like a great opportunity), and finally provide a clear instruction for the next action or response. Advertisement in newspaper depends upon organizational culture, kind of tendency follow by the company for recruiting a person. A particular description to be made in newspaper that basic criterion to be fulfilled by the candidate. Place of advertisement considered by an organization according the job requirement and people to be required by the organization. If an organization is looking for new talent, innovative idea, they have to make advertisement in public at large to select best talent out of them for any such kind of responsible job as product promotion representative. Every job recruitment, there is cost incurred by the organization either in form of monitory or in time. Cost of job recruitment is incurred or realized by the organization when, motive of recruitment is fulfilled. For advertising in newspaper for ABC Co. Ltd. We would consider The Telegraph Indias no. 1 English reading newspaper and pretty cheaper for employment advertisement as it cost Rs. 30000 per day.

Selection Guide
After the recruitment-related decision, perhaps the most important decision is manpower sourcing, the decision to select or reject the candidates. The process of choosing the most suitable candidate for a job from among the available applicants is called selection. The purpose of selection is to screen the applicants abilities and traits in order to assess the degree of success and compatibility of the individual in the organization. This is phase of the recruitment strategy where the communication between the employers and job seekers is crucial. Though there are various means of setting selection criteria such as written test, group discussion, psychometric test, video-conferencing with recruitee, yet no formal recruitment cycle can ever be complete without face-to-face discussion between the recruiter and the recruitee. The only difference of approach between the well established and less established organization is that while taking the decision as to who is the right candidate, well-established organization is going to make an analysis of person-culture fit. For a less-established, the culture is at a nascent stage. Their decision to recruit from outside, show they want to have a higher fit with the environment and hence the emphasis would be on person-outside fit. Short listing Candidates will only be shortlisted for interview if they meet all the essential criteria defined in the person specification. If the number of candidates meeting the essential criteria is excessive, further selection must be undertaken utilising the desirable criteria to achieve a workable shortlist. Short listing must be undertaken by at least two individuals who are experienced in the recruitment process and who will go on to be involved in the interviewing process. Interviewing The interview must be conducted by a panel, the suggested composition of which is detailed in the procedures. All interviews for one post must be conducted by the same panel. All candidates will be asked a standard format of questions, which will have been decided by the interview panel prior to the interviews. All questions must be related to the job requirements and the candidates suitability to undertake the role. Skills assessment As part of the selection process, Schools/Departments may wish candidates to partake in a series of skills tests. These tests must be directly related to the role in question and must be measurable against objective criteria. Candidates must be informed of the details in the letter inviting them for interview. Details of any skills tests, including the criteria to be measured and the method of measuring must be provided in advance to HRD.
