Recruiting Toolkit: 03. Creating Job Postings

Oftentime, companies will use a job description as a job posting, but these are two very different things. A job description is an internal document created by Human Resources to show compliance with federal and state labor and employment laws. A job posting is an advertisement for a job. It should include certain aspects of the job description, but more than anything, it should promote the best parts about the position and the company. In this program, we'll go through the distinct differences between job descriptions and job postings, we'll talk about what information to use from a job description in your job ad, and we'll cover how to make a job posting appealing for the right candidates.
