Why job descriptions are so powerful?

Many businesses, HRs, and recruiters when they want to post a job, they go to search engines and search for their job descriptions accordingly. BIG MISTAKE.

Did you know that job descriptions are fundamental keys to business success?

Here is why?

1-    A clear yet concise job description will assist employers to recruit the exact match. When I say concise job descriptions I mean concise tasks, and what I mean by concise task is a defined task. I see a lot of tasks within a job description like Managing a group of people where managing a group of people can’t be a task, there are 10 tasks within managing a group of people. Therefore, be specific.

2-    A clear yet concise job description will also make it clear for the candidates and existing employees to understand where they are going and what exactly they are supposed to do.

3-    Decrease turnover, yes it decreases employee turnover. How? Many people get recruited with vague job descriptions that later will make them pissed by tasks that were not clear enough for them before they started work, which will also lead to employee turnover.

4-    Increase in employee turnover will increase the cost of recruitment, the cost of ads, and the cost of training which will also lead to an increase in business losses.

5-    Finally, A clear job description will provide the opportunity and the ability to take a task and write a process according to it. But if the task is not clear, processes are mission impossible.

Summary: Businesses can’t survive, unless with clear and concise job descriptions. Eliminate the words manage, coordinate, handle, and control, and ask yourself when writing a job description to manage you should do what? To handle you should do what? And this is what is supposed to be written within a job description. Enhance your business with enhanced job descriptions.

Go professional.
