You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
And when you’re looking to hire a new employee, the job description you write is that first impression.
However – vague, unclear, or unrealistic job descriptions can lead to a mismatch between candidates and job requirements. To attract the right talent, make sure the descriptions are clear, concise, and accurately reflect the role’s expectations.
Indeed recently put together a terrific article on how to build a job description that will help you get the employee you want.
One of the most important things the article points out is that you need to hook your reader with details about what makes your company unique. Your job description is an introduction to your company and your employer brand.
Include details about your company culture, to sum up why a candidate would love to work for you. An Indeed survey found that 72% of job seekers say it’s extremely or very important to see details about company culture in job descriptions.
