This is the closing sentence from a long, detailed sales manager ad I read this morning:
For full job details, to apply online, and to learn more about our dynamic organization, please visit our website at www.company.com and search for Req ID# XXXXXX.
“Search for” a req on their website? I followed the link and it simply takes you to the home page of their rather extensive website. I went 5 clicks deep into the site and still did not find the specific job listing.
Don’t do this. It may work for web developer positions, but not for sales positions.
