Creating a new Vacancy - Description

Last updated on Jan 09, 2024

The description page is where you will enter the copy for the job advert, job title, industry and profession.

Title - This will be the title of the job advert. We would obviously suggest keeping this as simple as you can, such as 'Java Developer' rather than 'Superstar Java Developer Required In London'. However should you choose to expand this title beyond just the job title itself this is also ok.

Description - The information entered into the Description section, is key in determining who the Vacancy is attracting.

In order to make sure you will be attracting the best candidates, make sure you:

  • Include a list of hard and soft skills. The more details you can add, the more precise the suggested skills configuration will be. However, please keep in mind that including too many qualifications and skills could dissuade potential candidates.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Specify how the position fits into the organization. Indicate who the job reports to and how the person will function within your organization, helping candidates see the bigger picture and understand how the role impacts the business.

Industry - The Industry you enter here will help our system analyse your vacancy and compare this to potential candidates.
