Recruitment Presentation
A recruitment deck competes with every other employer deck, and they all claim great culture. What differentiates is specificity — the actual work, the actual trade-offs, and being willing to say who this is not for.

The slide sequence
Each step names the Lumen slide layout to use, so you can build this deck by adding layouts to a blank deck in order. Manual building is free and unlimited, and it does not consume the AI meter.
What makes this deck fail
- Adjectives instead of specifics. Every company claims a fast-paced collaborative culture; none of it differentiates.
- Hiding the hard parts. Candidates discover them in month two and leave in month four.
- No compensation range. Strong candidates opt out early rather than invest time to find out.
- A process with no timings. Silence after an interview loses candidates to employers who said when.
- The same deck for every role. The work slide has to be specific or the whole deck reads as generic.

| Careers page version | Everything, minus process timings | Interview-stage specifics |
Frequently asked questions
What should a recruitment presentation include?
The work the person would actually do, the immediate team, how you operate day to day, honest trade-offs, compensation structure, and the process from here with timings.
Should a recruitment deck mention what is difficult?
Yes. It is the most memorable slide and the one that builds trust, and it filters out people who would leave in month four when they discover it anyway.
Should recruitment decks include salary?
A range or the structure, yes. Strong candidates disengage early rather than spend hours discovering the number is wrong for them.
How long should a recruitment presentation be?
Ten to fourteen slides, 15 to 20 minutes, leaving most of the conversation for the candidate's questions rather than your slides.
Can I build a recruitment deck for free?
Yes. Manual building from a blank deck in Gixo Lumen is free and unlimited on every plan, including PPTX export.
