Hiring the right talent is becoming increasingly challenging, but what if you could dramatically improve your chances? Think of jobsinmalta as an insurance policy. Just as an investment fuels your recruitment growth, jobsinmalta empowers your recruitment success.

Here’s how you can maximise your recruitment efforts and ensure you’re not losing out on top candidates.

  1. Fact: there are more jobs than candidates

Malta has one of the highest job vacancy rates in the EU, meaning there are more open jobs than available candidates. With demand for talent outpacing supply, competition for the right hire is tougher than ever.

On average, it takes around 70 days for the right candidate to apply for a job. If your job listing expires after just 30 days, are you really giving yourself enough time to attract the right talent? How many qualified candidates are slipping through the cracks because your ad disappears too soon?

  1. Publish salaries to attract the right talent

Compensation is the number one reason candidates change jobs in Malta. Yet, many companies still hesitate to disclose salary details in their job postings.

Would you apply for a role without knowing if it meets your financial expectations? By omitting salary information, you are unknowingly losing good quality applications.

  1. Start selling your culture through job listings

A job listing is more than a checklist of requirements. It’s a sales pitch. With numerous job opportunities available, candidates have the luxury of choice. Why should they bother to apply for your jobs?

  • Are you being clear on what makes your company a great place to work, beyond the job description?
  • Are you highlighting career growth opportunities, company culture, and unique benefits?
  • Do your job ads reflect the reality of your work environment?
  • Are you offering flexibility? Shift swaps and remote options are the second biggest motivators for job changes in Malta. If you’re not showcasing them, you’re missing out.
  • Are your job ads inspiring candidates to apply – or pushing them away?

Ditch the long list of must-haves and swap some requirements for shortlisting questions. This way, you’ll attract the right candidates faster, without making your job post feel like a robot wrote it. Balance is key.

  1. The problem with 30-day listings and why unlimited makes more sense

On average, the right candidate takes 70 days to apply.

With jobsinmalta’s Unlimited Package, you can:

  • Post as many jobs as you need – without worrying about cost per listing
  • Extend closing dates to align with real hiring timelines
  • Maximise visibility and attract the right talent without restrictions

Why limit your hiring success with outdated, short-term job postings? How much is every lost candidate really costing your business?

  1. Smart, human-like job descriptions – powered by AI

Worried that AI-generated job descriptions will sound robotic? Jobsinmalta’s smart technology ensures your listings are engaging, clear, and tailored to attract the right candidates, without losing the human touch. The AI-powered job description generator, optimises your postings for SEO and candidate appeal, helping you stand out in a crowded job market.

  1. Use data to hire smarter

With jobsinmalta, hiring isn’t a guessing game. Jobsinmalta’s platform allows you to track job ad performance in real time, giving you valuable insights to refine your hiring strategy.

Are you currently relying on gut instinct, or are you making data-driven hiring decisions that improve results?

  1. Job boards are like a safety net – is your hiring secure?

When you pay per job post, you’re making a short-term gamble. But when you opt for unlimited job listings, you’re investing in long-term recruitment success. Think of it this way – if your job ad finds just one right candidate, it could save you thousands in recruitment agency fees, lost productivity, low team morale due to higher workloads and more. So why treat hiring as a one-off expense when you could have an ongoing talent attraction strategy?

Stay ahead. Stay covered.
