How to Write the Perfect Job Description for your New Employee

A job posting will be your new hires' first impression of your company. The job description needs to be communicated clearly to the candidate.

Spend time thinking about what you need from this new hire. Start with a job title, a description of your company, the tasks and responsibilities you expect from the hire, and the pay rate. Drill down on the day-to-day tasks that person will be responsible for. Know the vision and values that will guide their work. Review this and formalize it into a job description you'll use for your job posting.

The job description should also clearly outline what the candidate can expect when working with you. It will be used to filter out people who will not fit with your company and filter in people who will.

Write it to sound engaging, ensuring the points and facts are truthful.

Highlight key things that make your company stand out against the competition.

  • Do you offer higher compensation?
  • Do you have a better benefits package?
  • Do you have extensive training or experience that you can offer?

Your job description doesn't have to be too in-depth or technical; it merely needs to explain why people should work with you.
