A job post, whether in newspaper or online, having a well-written job description is the very first step to receive applications from the right candidates for an open position in an organization. Poorly written job description will only derive unsuitable applicants, which will later on waste employers time when they will start shortlisting.

Posting a job or writing a job description (JD) is not as simple as it looks. The person who is responsible to post a job, should consider following things:

• First step is job analysis, a proper research should be done on what needs to be done under that designation. Going through online job descriptions or templates will also be of great help.
• Then, he needs to sort out exact responsibilities/duties that needs to be done at that specific vacant position,
• A proper analysis of skills and requirements that an applicant should possess before applying for that post,
• Required qualifications i.e. degree or certifications
• Job Title or name of the designation
• Summary of the level of the post
• Job Type
• Job timings
• Benefits: Any incentives or positives of the job, which will encourage good candidates to apply
• Deadline: Proper date should be mentioned.
• Location: Where candidate will be working i.e. city. Proper address should be provided (if appropriate)
• Company description: A good company description is always a plus when posting a job

Things to avoid while writing Job Description:

• Unnecessary words to enlarge the sentence – Concise and accurate wording matters a lot
• Being unclear about the responsibilities
• Spelling and grammar mistakes – it will give really bad impression of the company
