How do you know if a company is not your cup of tea before the first interview? And how can employers create honest and attractive ads?

LIGA.net talked to career consultants: Alyona Aliyeva, an ex-HR manager with 12 years of experience in recruiting and developing staff; Natalia Voloshyna, project manager of the inclusive platform AllTogether.jobsulyana Khodorivska, a professional development coach. We talk about:

  • what "red flags" in vacancies scare candidates away before the interview;

  • why the search for a universal "Swiss knife" employee is bad for business;

  • what wording in job postings reduces trust in the company;

  • how candidates can understand that the vacancy is not theirs;

  • the danger of overly general or overly demanding descriptions;

  • how employers can set expectations for candidates;

  • examples of successful vacancies that work for the company's brand;

  • how to make the job posting inclusive and honest.
