10 Minutes to Post a Job = A Filled Position

How to launch your job opening fast, get quality applicants, and avoid wasting months on hiring

You start thinking about hiring… and suddenly, a month has passed. Still no candidates.
Sound familiar? Spoiler: the problem usually isn’t the job market — it’s how long it takes to actually post the job.

At Ovde Jobs, we see it all the time. Some companies create a job post in 10 minutes and get their first applications within the hour. Others spend weeks polishing the text — and lose the best candidates before they even hit “Publish.”

🚀 Speed is everything — here’s why

• Candidates job hunt actively, but briefly.
  Most job seekers are only “hot” for a week or two. If your vacancy goes live too late, you miss their window of action.

• Your ideal candidate is probably scrolling right now.
  If your post isn’t online today, they won’t see it. And if they do, it might be too late — another company moved faster.

💡 Real example:
An IT company posted a job on our platform at 10:00 AM. By 10:40 AM, they had 3 applications. By 2 PM, interviews were being scheduled. The position was filled in just five days. Why? Because they didn’t wait.

📋 How to launch a job post in 10 minutes — step by step

Step 1. Log in to your Ovde Jobs account
If you’re not registered yet, sign up here. Approval usually takes less than one business day.

Step 2. Pick a pricing plan
Compare packages — you can post one job or grab a bundle to test different roles or formats.

Step 3. Use our job post template
Save time by using this quick format:

• Title: Be specific (e.g. “B2B Sales Manager for IT Company”)

• Responsibilities: 3–5 bullet points, straight to the point

• Requirements: What’s essential vs. what’s a plus

• Offer: Work format, schedule, compensation

• Contact: What to send and how to reach you

Step 4. Publish and promote
Once approved, your job post goes live on the platform. Want extra visibility? We can also promote it through partner Telegram channels, email newsletters, and social media.

📊 What impacts the number of applications?

• Job title.
  “Manager” is too vague. “Marketplace Account Manager” is clear and targeted.

• Salary and conditions.
  Even a rough range (like “starting from €800 net”) can increase your applications by 2–3x.

• Response time.
  The faster you reply to candidates, the more likely they are to choose you.

💡 Real example:
One company got 12 applications. But they waited a week to respond. By then, 9 of the 12 candidates had already accepted other offers.

❌ Why waiting can cost you candidates

• While you’re debating job descriptions, top talent is getting hired.

• If your employee quits suddenly, you’re left scrambling.

• An unfilled position = tasks that aren’t getting done = lost revenue.
