This article provides an overview of the student Career Center's functionality and offers actionable strategies to enhance the visibility of your job postings.

To effectively reach the candidates, it is important to know how your job postings are presented within their Career Center. Key elements visible to students include:

3. Strategies to Enhance Job Posting Visibility
Students actively search for opportunities on JobTeaser by leveraging specific search criteria. It is important to remember that their career plans evolve throughout their academic journey.
-
Thorough Posting Completion: Ensure all fields in your job postings are accurately and completely filled. This enables students to clearly envision themselves in the role and understand the specific responsibilities.
💡 Tip: Students new to the job market may not be familiar with all job titles or their associated duties. Therefore, provide clear and descriptive explanations of responsibilities.
Strategic Category and Industry Selection: If a vacancy could reasonably fit into multiple job categories or industries, select the one that is the most direct and relevant match. Students typically use filters to exclude irrelevant options, so a precise selection aids their discovery process.
Collaborate with Educational Institutions: Engage with universities to understand their students' career aspirations and labour market demands. This insight can help you tailor your job postings more effectively.
