Hi all, we recently opened a new job listing for a specific role in my team. The listing is on our company page, and I have permission to post the link to it on LinkedIn. I requested permission for this because I have a good network of [role] that I want to tap into via LinkedIn. (My company doesn't hire through LinkedIn and I will be sharing this post with only my connections.) I have two questions, however.
Is it bad form to post this on Labour Day? I can't decide if this is a good idea or a terrible idea. It would help me open with 'Happy Labour Day', but I worry my sense of humour here is too dark.
What do I even write? 'We're looking for people interested in [role]: [link]' seems too brief. I do want to add what I'm looking for, but does it have to match 1:1 to the posting? For example, we require a certain task to be done in [role], but this isn't listed in the posting and may not always be expected by people capable of [role] (although it is covered under the general skillset that is mentioned as required in the posting - i.e. Microsoft Office expertise). How clear can I be while staying professional, in other words?
I am a somewhat unwilling manager, but I like my team and need more good people like them. I have never posted anything like this on LinkedIn before. Appreciate any help. Thanks!
