A candidate once told me they almost skipped our interview because the job ad sounded too generic. That stuck with me. Now I always add one line about what makes the team different. Small change, but it shows candidates we see them as people, not just resumes.

Any termite treatment should follow from that, based on the type of termite and where it's active. One swarm isn't a diagnosis, but it isn't something to ignore either.
