# The biggest mistakes in job adverts
What do you think are the biggest mistakes you see in job advertising?
The question we face most often when advising our clients on their current candidate attraction strategy is "Why isn’t my Job Ad generating the high quality applications I need?"
We've run a series of short videos highlighting the most common mistakes we see employers making in their job adverts.
We started with [this video](https://vimeo.com/812381851), highlighting that so many adverts only think about the job from the employer's perspective and not the candidate's "What's in it for me?" point of view.
We've then identified the five other common mistakes made in job adverts which impacts the quality of applications, which you can find in [this video](https://vimeo.com/812367481).
