Checklist for Improving Job Descriptions and Advertisements

Are your job descriptions unintentionally narrowing your candidate pool and causing you to miss out on highly qualified professionals?

Subtle assumptions about who traditionally does a job, the language used, or an over-emphasis on unnecessary requirements can act as unintended barriers. This can discourage top performers from applying and limit your access to the talent you need.

This checklist guides you through an audit of your job descriptions to ensure they are clear, focused on core competencies, and designed to attract the broadest possible field of excellent candidates.
