Job Description Writing Tips
How to write the perfect job description
Every recruitment journey should start with a really good job description and this is as much for your own benefit, in terms of determining exactly what type of role you need and what type of person you want to recruit, as it is for the candidates who will be applying.
As succinctly as possible, you need to outline exactly what type of person you’re looking for, what they are going to be doing and what they need to bring to the table. But you also need to make working for your company sound attractive, as you want the top level applicants to be applying to work for you, not your competitors.
1. Use a recognisable job title
Whilst no two jobs are ever the same, adhering to an industry standard title will ensure your advert is instantly recognisable and relevant.
2. Include the basic information
Location, hours of employment, salary and minimum experience required.
3. Provide an overview of your business
Include the services you provide, the company’s position in the industry and its future goals.
4. Outline the key tasks and responsibilities
Keep it fairly brief, but detailed enough to ensure only qualified candidates apply.
5. Include all employee benefits
A concise overview of staff benefits, financial incentives, company culture, pastoral support and opportunities for progression.
