increase in apply rate.
Use the tips and sample job descriptions below to create a compelling job listing.
 Tips for writing a great job description
1. Do your research. Look at other job listings for similar roles for ideas.
2. Create a clear job title using terms that a qualified candidate would include in a
search.
3. Use direct, easy to understand language. Avoid jargon and acronyms.
4. Be detailed about the qualifications and responsibilities of the job.

3.  Details to write a job description
1. Job Title
Make your job titles specific. Targeted job titles are more effective than generic
ones, so be precise by including key phrases that accurately describe the role.
Avoid internal lingo that may confuse the job seeker. Stick to standard
experience levels like “Senior” rather than “VI” or other terms people are less likely
to look for.
Keep the job title concise. Our data shows job titles that are 80 characters or less
receive more clicks
Research popular job titles. Use Indeed Job Trends, a free tool, to compare the
popularity of job titles and phrases within job postings.
2. Job Summary
Open with a strong, attention-grabbing summary. Your summary should
provide an overview of your company and expectations for the position.
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.
Include an exact job location. Provide an exact job location to optimize your job
posting so it appears higher in job search results.
3. Responsibilities and Duties
Outline the core responsibilities of the position. Make sure your list of
responsibilities is detailed but concise. Also emphasize the duties that may be
unique to your organization. For example, if you are hiring for an “Event
Management” role and the position requires social media expertise to promote
events, include this detail to ensure candidates understand the requirements and can
determine if they’re qualified.

4. Highlight the day-to-day activities of the position. This will help candidates
understand the work environment and the activities they will be exposed to on a
daily basis. This level of detail will help the candidate determine if the role and
company are a right fit, helping you attract the best candidates for your position.

to and how the person will function within your organization, helping candidates
see the bigger picture and understand how the role impacts the business.
4. Qualifications and Skills
Include a list of hard and soft skills. Of course, the job description should specify
education, previous job experience, certifications and technical skills required for
the role. You may also include soft skills, like communication and problem solving,
as well as personality traits that you envision for a successful hire.
Keep your list concise. While you may be tempted to list out every requirement
you envision for your ideal hire, including too many qualifications and skills could
dissuade potential candidates.
5. Benefits and Perks
Think creatively about perks that could make your opportunity more enticing.
Company sponsored health care is a great start, but the most sought after candidates
can be swayed by other perks that make their lives more manageable. Travel
benefits that reduce the burden of commuting, in-office food service and subsidized
fitness memberships can be part of a well-rounded package. Indeed data show that
searches for “flexible hours” have increased almost 60% since 2014. If it’s more
important for an employee to be productive than to be in the office during
traditional business hours, flexible hours are a cost effective perk that could help
you attract top talent.

All positions must be combined to achieve the objectives, so that positions must relate to

5. individuals and organizations as owners. Job descriptions are a systematic record of the tasks,
authorities and responsibilities of a particular position, defined by the facts. Job Description

job. Again, the job description is not focused on the personnel who fill the job. The
preparation of job description is very important, especially to avoid the difference of
understanding so as to avoid duplicate work, and to know the limits of responsibility and
authority of each position. Well, here are the benefits of job description for the organization,
