Question:  What type of job openings have companies posted the most in your site – what positions?

Answer:  So far the number one job openings posted by companies in our site is for sales positions.  Those sales positions are specifically for sales territories, such as sales representatives and or sales associates, for inside and outside sales territories.  The number two posted positions from companies are for customer service.

Q&A: Can Spanish speakers from different countries understand each other?

Q: My organization is looking for a bilingual customer service representative to help our Spanish speaking customers worldwide.  Can a person who speaks Spanish communicate with all other Spanish speaking people, regardless of their country of origin?  Thanks. Yours truly, Susan

A: This is a great question because I’ve heard it many times, and the answer is YES.  While both people will be able to communicate with each other, there may be certain words that are spoken differently in their respected countries.  If this occurs, they will be able to discuss the differences to help ensure that they understand one another clearly.  It’s great that your company is expanding their bilingual staff.  You may be interested in reading more about how bilingual employees are an advantage to your business.

Q&A: How do I verify that a candidate is bilingual?

Q: My company is looking to hire fluent bilingual employees this year (English & Spanish). My question is this: how do we know that they are truly bilingual?  Thanks.  Phillip

A: I recommend having a bilingual company recruiter interview the person in both languages; in your case, Spanish and in English. One of the questions for the job applicant should be about their level of proficiency in each language.  Then, the question should be followed by a conversational test as well as a written exercise.  This is the only way to make 100% certain that the job candidate is fully bilingual.  Buena suerte.

Top Five Tips for Writing Effective Job Postings

The ultimate goal of online job postings is to attract qualified candidates and increase the pool of applicants for the open position. The level of detail that you include in the job posting is the key to getting the quantity and quality of response you need.

To recap, here are our Top Five Tips for Writing Effective Job Postings:

1)  Judge a book by its cover: Use the most descriptive job title possible.

2)  Don’t go incognito: Include the name of the hiring company.

3)  More is more: When describing the open position, be specific.

4)  “Show me the money”: Include a salary range in the job posting.

5)  Details, details, details: Be sure to mention company benefits.
