Inclusive Indigenous Job Ad Follow-Up Template

If an employer signs up and asks for help writing a more inclusive job ad, send a short follow-up that gives them a clear checklist, a simple next step and a direct path to publish the role. This template keeps the message useful without turning it into a long policy lecture.

When to send this follow-up

Use this after an employer creates an account, asks for inclusive job ad tips, or submits a role that could be clearer for Indigenous, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, First Nations, Maori, Native American, Inuit or Metis candidates.

• Send it before the first job is published if the employer is still drafting.
• Send it after signup if they answered yes to receiving inclusive job ad tips.
• Use it when a role is missing salary, location, work arrangement, application steps or identified-role context.

Subject: Tips for making your Indigenous job ad clearer

Hi [Name],

Thanks for creating an employer account on Barayamal. Before you publish your first role, here are a few quick ways to make the listing clearer for Indigenous and First Nations candidates.

Include the salary range where possible, the work location or remote expectations, employment type, closing date, application steps and a real contact person for questions.

If the role is identified, targeted or Indigenous-focused, explain who the role is intended for, why cultural knowledge or lived experience matters, and what support candidates can expect during the process.

You can post your role here: create or open your employer account. You can also use the inclusive job ad checklist before publishing.

Thanks,
Barayamal

Job ad checklist

• Role clarity: use a plain job title, category and short summary of the work.
• Location clarity: state the city, region, country, remote status, hybrid expectations and travel requirements.
• Pay clarity: include salary range, contract length, hours and benefits where possible.
• Candidate context: explain whether the role is open to all applicants, identified, targeted or Indigenous-focused.
• Cultural safety: mention mentoring, community engagement, cultural leave, employee networks or support available.
• Application steps: show the closing date, documents required, interview process and contact details.

How to use signup answers

Review employer signup answers each week. If employers repeatedly mention the same locations, role types or inclusive-ad support needs, turn those patterns into better job alert segments, employer FAQs and SEO pages.

• If employers mention remote roles, link them to remote Indigenous jobs and ask them to clarify remote expectations.
• If employers mention health, government, education or community roles, make sure the job category and title match the role clearly.
• If employers are hiring in Canada, link the role to the Canada jobs hub and the relevant Canada guide.
