For many HR workers, a job description is something that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/datapeople.io\/compliance\/job-description-compliance-law-101\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">needs to tick the right legal boxes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t always lead to a description that\u2019s attractive to jobseekers, especially those well-versed in their industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an Indeed survey researching this problem, the online recruiting service discovered <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/hire\/c\/info\/how-to-improve-your-job-postings-to-attract-better-candidates?gclid=CjwKCAjwsJ6TBhAIEiwAfl4TWN8PLehbRKHdoi1QDPdznbf0uZmJ-kztapX7PqP27NuZbSB-Q-ItSBoCU4kQAvD_BwE&amp;aceid=\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that 65% of employers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have had to revise their job descriptions within the last year. More troubling were the most common reasons that position descriptions need tweaking according to employers:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descriptions were drawing too many unqualified candidates. This was the number one complaint that led to rewrites. Not only does this mean that the recruiting phase has to begin again, but filtering out unqualified candidates can take a lot of time and money away from other important activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descriptions weren\u2019t bringing in enough candidates at all. This can happen if the job description is too vague, if the requirements don\u2019t match the compensation, or sometimes if the SEO is poor for online search.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descriptions were only attracting people who were a poor fit for the company culture. This can be an annoying problem because poor fits with company culture are generally only revealed during the interview phase, so time and expense have already been wasted.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the job description makes such a difference in finding the right people, what practices can improve them? Candidates tend to want lots of specifics about the job, but it\u2019s also important not to overwhelm them while being reasonable about what the position needs. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15014 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Effective-Job-Description-body.jpg\" alt=\"Professional reviewing a resume with a video interview candidate on laptop screen.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Effective-Job-Description-body.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Effective-Job-Description-body-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Effective-Job-Description-body-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Effective-Job-Description-body-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Effective Job Descriptions Attract Top Talent<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think back on your own experiences in the job market: What qualities of a job description made you more interested and likely to apply? What sort of information did you prefer that a job description provide, and what omissions were a dealbreaker for you? Our own experiences in looking for jobs can be helpful when crafting all kinds of position descriptions. They also show us just why job descriptions are important, especially for skilled professionals who have expectations of their own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top talent applicants are always on the watch for words and phrasing that identify an organization that understands the job they are recruiting for and will be able to offer the support that those responsibilities require. Certain candidates are also watching for specific benefits or features of a position that they need for their lives, such as health insurance or a work from position: If the job description doesn\u2019t include that data, they move on quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Others will be more interested in learning more about a company\u2019s culture (Indeed\u2019s survey found that 71% of job seekers thought it was \u201cvery\u201d important or higher) or how they treat employees, and a bare-bones job description may not satisfy them. They may want to know about an organization\u2019s social goals, flexibility in working schedules, or if the company encourages internal promotion. It\u2019s also important to keep in mind that your organization is competing with a variety of other job descriptions seeking top talent, and candidates will be attracted to those that are the most well-written.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, common sense and details play important roles. But what real tips can help create effective descriptions for drawing in the best possible candidates? Let\u2019s take a look at important steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Write a Great Job Description<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic format of a job description is universal \u2013 starting with an accurate job title, summary of the job, basic responsibilities, requirements, and so on. But a good job description is more than following a format. Here\u2019s what to think about:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Consider what you want from the position<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/03\/write-a-job-description-that-attracts-the-right-candidate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvard Business Review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests thinking about the job for both the short and long term. Does it need to be a permanent position? Will the responsibilities shift as the company grows? Will the position always be in the same department or part of the same team, or could it be reorganized? Keep in mind, it\u2019s often better to hire an employee that has a lot of potential that can grow into the role, learning as time passes \u2013 in these cases, the ability to learn is more important than having all the right skills. However, if the business needs immediate expertise to tackle a problem right now, the experience and a specific skillset will serve better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Consult those in similar roles in the organization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This important step is often overlooked when writing a job description! Find those in similar positions in the company and interview or survey them about their job. Ask them to describe what they currently do compared to what their job description said, and especially note any differences in their current role. You may find that an entirely different type of description \u2013 or even position \u2013 is needed. You can also ask questions about how they feel about their compensation over time, how success at their job is measured, how happy they are with their place in the company, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid unnecessary qualifications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Take a look at job requirements and ask if each one is really necessary. Are a certain number of years of experience actually necessary, or is most of the job taught with on-the-job training? Is a specific degree required, and if so why is that specific degree needed? Could another type of education serve as an alternative? Is knowledge of a specific platform or app required, or would knowledge of a similar program also be sufficient? Also, is a certification required upfront, or could the education and exam be a part of training the business is willing to fund? There are often assumptions that you can remove from a job description to make it much more friendly to all kinds of candidates. Don\u2019t include requirements in a position just because it\u2019s always been that way, and consider distinguishing between necessary skills and preferred skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Remove all careless language<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Many phrases can give the wrong impression, or make a job seeker think that a job isn\u2019t for them. Don\u2019t use language that sounds overly masculine or feminine to describe a job. Cut out phrases like \u201ccareer-oriented,\u201d \u201cgo-getter,\u201d and similar words. These do not add to a job description and can make many qualified candidates pass on applying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Specifically note company culture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Job seekers won\u2019t have a good idea of company culture unless you tell them. If you are invested in diversity, say outright that you are a diverse workplace. If you are at a new venture that requires a lot of work at odd hours, mention it. If you are a flat organization with plenty of collaboration, tell them. It\u2019s usually a good idea to have a paragraph devoted to describing the company, what kind of workplace it is, and what kind of culture is valued there. Use this as a way to show job seekers why they would want to work with your organization compared to a similar company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Clearly list job duties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This section should be as comprehensive as possible while still being easy to read (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/business\/job-description-example\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes Advisor recommends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> between 8 and 14 bullet points). Your survey of similar positions will be very useful when listing these responsibilities, especially if it\u2019s not exactly what you expected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Check your keywords<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This is very important for online searches. Accurately describing responsibilities and requirements will naturally add useful keywords. Also review the job title and make sure it\u2019s accurate according to industry terminology. Don\u2019t make up a unique job title or use coded language to describe things \u2013 instead of helping you stand out, it will make the job harder to find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/en\/resources\/whitepapers\/how-to-implement-a-successful-employee-training-program\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/How-to-Implement-a-Successful-Employee-Training-Program.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1201\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/How-to-Implement-a-Successful-Employee-Training-Program.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/How-to-Implement-a-Successful-Employee-Training-Program-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/How-to-Implement-a-Successful-Employee-Training-Program-1024x299.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/How-to-Implement-a-Successful-Employee-Training-Program-768x224.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Strategies for Attracting High Potential Employees<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouraging <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/how-to-promote-a-learning-culture-in-an-organization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a learning culture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that gives employees plenty of room for advancement while expanding their personal skillset.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detail future opportunities in your job description so that candidates know there is room for growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back up these opportunities by discussing specific examples during interviews, such as someone else who has advanced from a similar position, company training programs or funding that the candidate may be interested in, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give employees room to work where possible.

Top talent will want to work at a business with an excellent reputation. If there aren\u2019t that many awards to talk about, instead focus on the future of the company and what it aspires to be. The best candidates will want to be part of that vision.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend some time on job boards looking up similar positions.
