How to Post a Job Ad in Georgia and Get Real Applications | Unlim.ge

To get applications for a job in Georgia, name the role the way people search for it, state the salary or a range, the schedule, location and required languages, separate must haves from nice to haves, and explain how to apply. You can post on job sites, social media and classifieds boards: Unlim.ge has a Jobs category, and job seekers post their own ads under Looking for a job. This guide is also for foreign founders hiring their first local team in Georgia.

Where to post a job ad

• Job sites. Good for office roles and specialists.
• Social media groups by city or profession. Fast, but posts sink within a day.
• Classifieds boards. Work well for sales staff, couriers, technicians, cafe and shop staff, people looking for work close to home. On Unlim.ge you can choose the city and browse candidates in Looking for a job.

Combining two or three channels and tracking where good candidates come from usually works best.

Title and first lines

• The job title in plain words, such as "Sales assistant, electronics store".
• City and district in the title or first line.
• Salary or range. Ads without pay are often skipped.
• Format: full time, shifts, part time, remote.

What to put in the job ad

1. What the person will do: 3 to 5 specific tasks.
2. Must haves separate from nice to haves.
3. Languages and level. Georgian for local customers, Russian or English for tourists and expats. If the team works in English, say so: it attracts different candidates.
4. Conditions: schedule, contract, training, meals, transport, bonuses. Only what is real.
5. How to apply and the deadline.

A single language ad narrows your pool. Unlim.ge works in Georgian, Russian and English, and posting in at least two languages helps.

Responding to candidates

• Reply fast. Good candidates apply to several jobs and go with whoever calls first.
• Ask 2 or 3 questions in chat before meeting: experience, availability, start date.
• Confirm the interview with address, time and a contact name.
• Reply to rejected candidates too. It protects your reputation.

What not to do

• Never ask candidates for money for training, uniforms or paperwork. It looks like a scam.
• Do not inflate the salary to get clicks.
• Remove filled positions promptly.
