Best Practices for posting a gig

Introduction

When posting a project or gig on the Reejig platform, clarity and relevance are key to attracting the right candidates. In this guide, we'll walk you through the best practices for naming and setting up your gig, as well as how to add skills for maximum efficiency and precision.

 

1. Naming Your Project or Gig

The name of your gig is the first thing potential candidates see. Here are some tips for crafting the perfect title:

  • Be Specific: Instead of "Writer Wanted," go for "Tech Blog Content Writer."
  • Avoid Jargon: Use terms universally recognized in your industry.
  • Keep it Short: Ideally, limit the title to 5-7 words.

 

2. Adding Required Skills & Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Skills are an integral part of any gig posting, helping you narrow down the right candidates. In Reejig, skills can be categorized into 'Required' and 'Nice to Have.'

 

 

How to Add Skills:

  • Navigate to ‘Create Opportunity’ in the Opportunity Marketplace
  • Locate the “Skills Required” section.
  • Begin typing the skill you want to add. If it exists in the system, it will auto-populate. Select the appropriate skill.
  • Repeat this step for each required skill.
  • For skills that are not mandatory but would be beneficial, navigate to the "Nice to Have Skills" section and repeat the above process.
  • While you can add multiple skills, prioritize the top 5 for both sections to not overwhelm potential candidates.
