Why Your Job Posts Aren’t Working. (And What to Do Instead)

In this episode of The Skillwork Forum, Tim Raglin, COO, is joined by Lindsay Jacka, HR Manager, to unpack a common frustration for manufacturers and HR leaders alike: why job postings aren’t delivering the candidates you need.

Once your job posts attract interest, consider the balance between hiring speed and fit. The conversation on hiring skilled tradespeople without sacrificing quality offers another perspective on moving candidates through the process.

They break down the flaws of the “post and pray” approach and explain why many job descriptions miss the mark before the right talent ever sees them. From vague titles and internal jargon to misaligned pay and overly long requirements, Tim and Lindsay share what’s driving qualified skilled trades professionals to scroll past open roles.
