Introducing your Company’s Story

Your company’s story shares your team’s core values through Wantedly’s unique “Why-How-What” structure.

The majority of today’s workforce comprises of millennials looking for meaningful work. This section provides a transparent look into your mission, culture, and vision, setting your team apart from the thousands of other companies out there.

In today's day and age, anyone can look up what your company does, but what about what it's like to work alongside your people? To reveal the often underestimated gem we know as company culture, sharing the foundation that drives your team is important

.This can range anything from describing why your founder started your company to why you choose to grind with your team day and night.

Your company's story is your chance to share what drives your team to do what you do every day, and by doing so, you’ll attract the right talent, who resonate with and will thrive in your culture!

Featuring your Team Members

By now, you get the message: millennials value (and crave) transparency in today's job market.On Wantedly, any number of team members can become an Admin of your account -- so the more faces, the merrier. Featuring team members on job posts is important for two main reasons.

First and foremost, as a featured member on job posts, you will receive notifications on whenever candidates apply and whenever these candidates reply to messages you send them. It's a great way to stay updated and nurture your pipeline of talent to keep them warm.

Second, hiring is a two-way street. Just as you want to know more about candidates, from their work experience, interests, to ambitions, etc., they also want to know more about your team and you.

Featuring team members (especially those from the department you're hiring for) enhances your job post in unimaginable ways and will attract the relevant and the right talent to join your team (while helping you hack through all that noise).

Help your audience put a face to the name (all while levelling up your job posts) by featuring your team members!

Creating a Job Post

Your typical job post that lists out responsibilities and characteristics you're looking for in candidates? Your job post is not simply a list, but rather a story that spurs excitement in both active and passive job seekers in the market.

On Wantedly, your job post is the key to attracting a pool of relevant talent for your team. It's important to write beyond key responsibilities and characteristics in the job description. What impact will this future individual make through his/her work? How will this individual grow by being part of your company?

Highlighting these aspects of the role will resonate with and draw the attention of the right talent for your team. Be creative with how you present the role. What makes working with your team special?

Every role is unique, so don't be afraid of testing out different versions of the job post to see what works best in attracting relevant talent for your company!

Sharing your Job Post

We believe in the rippling power of "The Word" through networks and its invaluable impact to create buzz surrounding any topic - even with job posts.

Sharing your job post on your company's digital channels, your personal network, your colleague's Facebook (you get the gist) is one of the best ways for you to eventually meet your next team member.

Tap into your network, your network's network, and so on to increase your job post's reach exponentially, leading to an increased chance of you meeting "The One" much sooner than you'd think.

Don't ignore one of the most powerful tools you have right in front of you. Share your job post!
