Want to write a job description that attracts highly skilled candidates
who’ll get up to speed quickly and stay with your company for many
productive years? Get ready to be precise.

A good job description is a finely honed tool. A recruiter, manager, or
candidate should be able to read it and know exactly what a job requires
and entails. A typical job description, on the other hand, is an
everything-but-the-kitchen-sink affair. It might contain duties that are no
longer aligned with the position or expectations that are unreasonable or
even impossible. (Wanted: engineer with 10 years of experience in this

Here’s how to write a job description that works.

You want to be proactive and find candidates for your open roles, so you
need to know the best sites to search for resumes. We’ll share some popular
resources (both free and paid) here to get you started. Soon, you’ll be
sourcing top talent – without having to wait for professionals to apply.

Hiring top talent is worth the investment. According to research, high
performers are 400 times more productive than typical performers.

Excellence also inspires excellence. Top performers are likely to encourage
their teammates to do better every day. Their attitudes, behaviors, and
habits have a tendency to proliferate across an organization. One good hire
can add a lot more to your bottom line than several mediocre ones. And of
course, the cost of a bad hire is well known–lost productivity, wasted time
and effort, and a dismal effect on team morale.

But how can you find these excellent candidates and get them on board? It
starts by knowing what you’re looking for…and then looking in the right
places.

You have the perfect job description ready to go and you are ready to hire
your next employee. Where is the best place to post it? How can you reach
as many potential employees as possible? This article will walk you through
our best tips for selecting the right job board for your ideal employee.
