Thumb rules for a perfect job description

Thumb rules for a perfect job description

With burgeoning competition to hire top talent, writing a ‘standout’ jobdescription is an essential step towards attracting the right candidates…
Over the years, guidelines on what to include in jobdescriptions (JD) have evolved. However, there is a need to look at it again and modify it to attract today’s social media generation. This workforce has accessibility to endless information at their fingertips. They are constantly using the internet, browsing various sites at a time, checking their social media pages, emails and even searching jobs on the go. Thus, there is a need to have a crisp job description which is specific, neither too descriptive nor too vague and with simple and clear language to appeal to this generation.
Satya D Sinha, CEO, MANCER Consulting shares how one can write the right jobdescription to effectively communicate the company’s available positions and the requirements for applicants, at the same time conveying the ethos of the company.
Job title: Create a jobtitle for the position you are looking to fill. The job title should accurately indicate the employee role; reflecting the industry standards and the organisation’s culture. A brief overview of the job role and key responsibilities should be included.
KRAs: All essential functions and key deliverables of the position should be enlisted. Be specific and concise in order to give the candidate a clear idea of the work expectations from the organisation. Include technical and domain related aspects of the position as well as the organisation’s expectations from the role.
Skills: Summarise all qualifications and skills that are imperative for the position, along with the preferred ones. List the level of skill, experience, qualifications and technical and non-technical capabilities demanded by the job.
Organisational overview: Add a brief overview about the organisation. It should encompass the company’s mission, goals, industry and headquarters, location and also brief description of the culture and vision of the organisation.
Relevant details: Include all the essential details on where the position will be located, the type of employment (full-time/part-time/internship). Also, include a brief regarding the level of authority attached to the advertised role.
Compensation: The salary package and benefits such as medical, reimbursements, cab service etc can be included in the jobdescription, if your organisation wants to disclose it.
Contact information: Provide the recruiter’s contact information, so that in case of any doubt or query, the potential applicants can reach out to the person directly.
Besides aiding in getting the relevant talent, a good job description also helps to hold the employee accountable for delivering all aspects of the role mentioned in the JD. This helps to minimise confrontations, confusions and doubts on the employee as well as the employer’s part.
