Take the brief.
Write the marketing.
Earn the reply.

Around 90% of your target candidates are employed.

There are two types of candidates: people who need another job and the 90% who might want a better one. The goal is to give the second type a reason to be curious. That’s a writing problem – and writing problems have methods.

But it starts before the writing, with the brief – the top of the funnel. Get that right and the ad and the outreach have something worth saying. Get it wrong and the writing has nothing to work with.

The training is that method: a repeatable structure, the psychology underneath it and short exercises where you write your own ads and outreach, and learn why a line lands or dies.

Exhibit A – The opening to a real recruiter job ad

Are you a skilled recruiter with a passion for finding the very best talent? If so, we would love to hear from you!

X Who self-identifies as an unskilled recruiter?

X A “passion for finding talent”? Really?

X Is that the call to action? It’s a bit early.
Verdict: 2/10. Four clichés and a marriage proposal, before they’ve told the reader one thing worth knowing.

Over 2,000 recruiters have done it. They tend to say the same things.

You’ll never write an advert in the same way again! What a great and easily digestible course! Love the set up and being able to do it at my own pace.

As we’re getting ready to scale our start-up, we need to have really great job ads and attract top talent. Although the course wasn’t exactly designed for me, it was really eye opening and I’ve got some immediate ideas to rewrite my job ads. Highly recommended.

Impactful, straight-talking, empowering. What more would we expect from Jackie and Mitch?
