3 Secrets to High-Converting Job Posts

You posted the job. You shared it. Crickets. 🦗
Why? It's likely not the salary or the role. It's the friction. Here are 3 secrets to double your applicant volume.
Secret #1: The 3-Second Rule
On social media, you have 3 seconds to answer three questions:
- Who is hiring?
- What is the role?
- How much does it pay?
If a candidate has to read a paragraph to find the salary, they keep scrolling.

Secret #2: Visual Authority
Design signals capability. If your job post looks like a sloppy Word doc, candidates assume your company is sloppy too.
Using a template like our Technical or Bold styles signals that you are a modern, design-conscious company. This attracts high-quality talent who care about details.
Secret #3: Mobile-First Application
58% of job searches happen on mobile. If your application requires uploading a resume file that's stuck on their laptop, they will tag it for later... and never come back.
GigDrop is mobile-first. We allow candidates to apply with their LinkedIn profile or a quick bio, reducing the friction to zero.
Summary
- Be fast: Show salary and role instantly.
- Look good: Use professional visuals.
- Be mobile: Don't ask for files they don't have on their phone.
