Job Description
Think of your job description as an advertisement for your job. Make sure that it is appealing, accurate, and detailed enough to interest the most qualified candidates.
Tips for writing the best job description:
Describe the responsibilities and roles for the position you are seeking to fill. Be specific.
Outline the specific requirements you are looking for — but be aware that sometimes the best candidates may not match every single one.
If your company is not well known, describe it here.
Job seekers most often search using keywords. Make sure your job description includes the relevant terms that a job seeker would use to find your job. Example keywords: “product manager”, registered nurse, java, finance, associate, advertising
Include any benefits or perks of the job including 401k, flex time, profit sharing, stock options, etc.
Represent your job well
Job seekers can see who they know at your company to get more information, so make sure your coworkers are using LinkedIn so they be available to help sell the position to people in their networks.
Include your own profile and recommendations with the job listing so job seekers can see why they want not just the job, but the opportunity to work with you!
