Writing a job ad?

Here’s a quick tip that could make all the difference 👇

Don’t just list your demands.

Show people why they’d want to work with you.

It’s not just about filtering applicants — it’s about attracting the right ones in the first place.

📍 Made for small businesses in Devon & Somerset.

If your team is warm, down-to-earth and easy to get along with — then your job ad should feel the same.

Too many ads sound like they’ve been lifted from a policy handbook. And while there’s a time and place for formal language… this probably isn’t it.

People want to get a feel for the role and the business.

They want to know what it’s really like to work with you — not just a list of bullet points and buzzwords.

The difference between “The successful incumbent will…” and “You’ll be working with all sorts of people…” might seem small.

But it changes who applies — and who doesn’t.

Need help turning a dry job spec into something that actually connects with people?

That’s what I’m here for.

Not every business can throw money at staff retention.

And most of the time... you don't need to.

We've pulled together a few practical, non-financial ways to keep hold of good people - especially useful if you're running an SME and need to compete with bigger players.

If any of it rings true - and you're not sure where to start, feel free to contact us.

In a small business, one hire can represent 5% of your entire workforce.

In a large corporate, that same hire might be just 0.05%.

The difference?

For SMEs, every single hire matters.

But too many small businesses are still approaching recruitment like big companies – focusing heavily on CVs, rushing the process, and hoping for the best.

That approach leads to:

🟢 Poor cultural fit
🟢 High turnover
🟢 Friction in tight-knit teams
🟢 Hours of lost time and productivity

When you’ve got 10, 30 or 50 people in the business, the impact of one wrong hire is immediate – and costly.

In SMEs, roles aren’t neatly defined. People need to wear multiple hats, adapt quickly, and work closely with others.

That’s why hiring based on attitude, flexibility, and team fit is just as important as experience.

If you're an SME based in Mid-Devon or East Devon, and want to take a more considered, local approach to building your team – that’s exactly what we do.

🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢 🟢

I’m Matthew Ballard, Founder of Green Orchard Recruitment.

We support small businesses across Mid-Devon and East Devon with tailored permanent recruitment solutions – helping you make the right hires, first time.

No fuss. No generic CVs. Just proper recruitment support, built around your business.

Are you missing out on top talent because of your candidate experience?

Think of every interaction with a candidate as a reflection of your business.

From the first job advert to the onboarding welcome pack, every touchpoint shapes how candidates perceive your organisation - and their perception matters more than ever in today’s competitive market.

Here are some key areas to focus on to enhance your candidate engagement:

✅ Job Adverts: Are they clear, concise, and enticing? A compelling advert sets the tone for the candidate's journey.

✅ Application Process: Is it straightforward and mobile-friendly? Long, clunky forms can deter great candidates.

✅ Interview Communication: Are you keeping candidates in the loop? Timely updates and clear expectations show professionalism and respect.

✅ Feedback Loops: Do you provide constructive feedback, even for unsuccessful applicants? A thoughtful rejection can leave a lasting positive impression.

✅ Onboarding: Is your process welcoming and informative? A smooth onboarding helps new hires hit the ground running and feel valued from day one.

A seamless candidate experience isn’t just about recruitment - it’s about your employer brand. Candidates who feel engaged and respected are more likely to accept offers, refer others, and even become future customers or advocates for your business.

What’s one part of your candidate experience you’re working on - or struggling with?

What motivates a Gen Z job seeker?

It’s not the same as what drives a Baby Boomer.

And Millennials? They’re somewhere in between.

Recruitment isn’t a one-size-fits-all process anymore.

Each generation brings unique expectations to the table, and if you’re not tailoring your approach, you might be missing out on great talent.

Gen Z thrives on purpose-driven work, flexibility, and tech-savvy environments.

Millennials value development opportunities and work-life balance (with a good dose of stability).

Gen X leans into autonomy and trust, often preferring roles where they can make an impact without micromanagement.

Boomers often prioritise loyalty and benefits that align with long-term career goals.

The key is understanding what matters most to them.

Whether you're recruiting for a creative marketer, an experienced sales manager, or a dynamic HR leader, knowing what makes candidates tick can help you stand out in the South West’s competitive talent market.

💡 If your recruitment process isn't considering these generational differences, you could be limiting your reach and impact.
