Describe the job. The job is the broad stokes, the minute details, and the overall sense that establishes the expectation of the hiring company and potential employee. Don’t be afraid of the list format:
Observe how others have performed this job or a similar job, either at your company or in the market today. Read their descriptions, or just be clear and be transparent. The job encompasses day to day, week to week, and month to month responsibilities but is more than just tasks. Tasks are the grind, the nuts and bolts, but within
the how of how tasks are performed, there is a
culture; an attitude, and more than a just an attitude. Try to acknowledge these intangibles. There is no perfect way to describe a job, but know your description will bring in candidates, so to bring in the right ones, be clear and be transparent in summarizing the essential and ideal responsibilities of a position. List qualifications here. Qualifications are tailored to the open position, but the most common are:
- experience,
- skills,
- abilities,
- degrees,
- certifications.
Some qualifications qualify candidates as average and others qualify them as great. Remember there are essential tasks to complete on day one, and tasks that be trained while working. Here, write anything about the job that is not included in company, job description, and qualifications, such as travel requirements. And ensure your potential co-worker, "All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines".
