Finalize position description
PageUp & Recruiting Process Module: Part 1
A position description sets the foundation for recruiting, developing and retaining talent, and sets the stage for work performance by clarifying responsibilities, expected results, and evaluation of performance. It is also an important component to maintaining an equitable compensation system and ensuring legal compliance.
A well-written position description will attract the right candidates to apply by communicating clearly the type of person you are seeking and the responsibilities and tasks the job entails, so there is no question as to what the candidate is applying for. When well written, the position description shows a realistic picture of a job and answers the question, "What does the person in this role actually do?"
