Hiring managers often have an idea of the type of candidate they want in their team or business, but do not always put a detailed job description together.
This makes talent attraction difficult, as candidates who are considering a role change, need to have a vision of what they can expect from a new position.
Here are some pointers on drafting a job description.
📝 Start with a Clear Job Title:
Use a clear and specific job title that accurately reflects the role. Avoid internal jargon or creative titles that might confuse potential candidates.
📝 Provide a Concise Job Summary:
Write a brief, engaging summary that highlights the key responsibilities and objectives of the role. Use language that excites and motivates potential candidates.
📝 List Key Responsibilities and Duties:
Clearly outline the primary responsibilities of the role. Use bullet points for easy readability.
Focus on the most important tasks to give candidates a realistic preview of what the job entails.
📝 Highlight Qualifications and Skills:
Specify the essential qualifications, skills, and experience required for the position.
Differentiate between “required” and “preferred” qualifications to help candidates assess their fit for the role.
📝 Describe Company Culture and Values:
Briefly describe your company’s culture, values, and work environment. Candidates often seek workplaces that align with their values.
Candidates are less likely to engage in something unknown. Therefore having. clear job description will give candidates the ability to see their value contribution to the business and the likelihood for their success.
