Writing Effective Descriptions
The quality of your role description directly impacts the quality of candidate submissions. Recruiters use your description to pitch the role to potential candidates.
- Lead with impact — Start with what the person in this role will accomplish, not a company overview.
- Be specific about requirements — Distinguish between must-haves and nice-to-haves.
- Include the "why" — Why is this role open? Why should a candidate leave their current position?
- Add ideal candidate notes — These private notes help recruiters understand exactly who you're looking for.
