Why is this important?
Regardless of where a business advertises, be it on a recruitment website, in a newspaper, on a notice board or internally through an email, advertising the position is the first and one of the most important opportunity to communicate with potential employees so they know who the business is, what they stand for, and what the position requirements and expectations are.
