Importance of having the right job description in a recruitment ad

In brief

A specialist agency understands the language of the role and the reality of the market, allowing every stage of the search to be more precise.

Marketing a job position is the only way that the right employees can be handpicked for a specific position.

The most important part of the marketing process is to ensure that the prospective employee is attracted and aware of the duties and expectations of the position.

This automatically eliminates the wrong candidates being shortlisted.

This is usually expressed in the job description when the job is marketed. There are certain key elements to include and keep in mind when posting a job description such as:

Specifying the responsibilities that the individual will have
Benefits of working for this team / company – have a min of 7 attraction pointers.
Who will person report to and where will they fit in the organogram
Specify the focus of the position and the role the individual and position plays in the company
Include the required skills that the individual would need to have to successfully do the job
It is extremely important to include the specific qualification requirements for the position and experience as well
It is a great advantage if the salary is revealed in the job description alongside with perks and benefits – such as work from home … etc
Always include the email or method of applying for the job and what must be sent together with the application
