Write a good job brief!
- Get the balance right between “the company”, “the role” and “the candidate” and make the brief clear and easy to decipher.
- Be highly prescriptive when specifying things the candidate must have, and feel free to state that without a specific skill or experience your application will not be successful.
- Break the document up into clear sections (the employer, the job, what you are looking for, and why it’s good to work there).
- Pitfalls: Say an appropriate amount about you as a company/employer. If you are e.g. Mediacom, people will know you, so don’t bang on about it. If you are e.g. Electric Glue, more explanation will be required.
- Pitfalls: Make sure the person reading your job spec knows precisely what you are after. It must be clear and obvious!
