Creating a Job Description
Job Descriptions offer potential candidates a window into your organization. If the job description is well-written, it can actually encourage applicants to apply for a position. If it is written poorly, you may be losing out on some great talent.
Job Descriptions provide candidates a look at your organization and its managerial skills. Candidates want to know what it will take for them to be successful in the job. A clearly written job description will answer their questions and spark new ones during the interview process.
