"Instead of focusing on hiring people who fit the dominant culture, libraries should explore why others are viewed as bad fits in the first place and how the organization can better appreciate people who don’t conform."

Not only is including salary and benefit information up front in your job ads good from a transparency perspective, ads with
#salaries
(real numbers, not "commensurate" and other non-info statements) typically get more applications and from better quality applicants.
#hiring
Hiring librarians. Please post salary ranges and wage information on job announcements. Putting "commensurate" doesn't count. Transparency is a good thing for potential applicants.

ALWAYS tailor your CV/résumé, cover letter, correspondence, and interview to the specific ad or description you're applying to. Fill-in-the-blank stock answers may be easier, but they won't get the job done. Go deeper.

“To be clear, post-interview follow-up notes are a good thing. I’ve written plenty here encouraging people to send them.
But for most jobs, the idea of rejecting anyone who doesn’t send a thank-you is preposterous — and it’s terrible hiring.”

@HiringLib
FWIW, ALA JobLIST has been seeing more job openings for the past two years or so than it was seeing in 2019, but slightly fewer total ad page views. Based on that and employer reports of smaller pools, it suggests some reduction in the number of interested jobseekers per opening.
