 How You Can Use Job Descriptions to
Attract the Right Candidates
Different corporations have different philosophies towards job descriptions with some
subscribing to the notion that these should be very broad and vague leaving maximum
leeway for individual flexibility and others preferring highly detailed descriptions which hone
down from overall objectives of a specific role to each of the monthly, weekly and daily
duties involved.
Whatever degree of detail selected, job descriptions serve an essential function in many key
areas of business from recruitment to performance appraisals, compensation and benefits,
legal and compliance; and training and development. Here, the recruitment experts at
Bayt.com, the Middle Easts 1# job-site, offer some guidance in effective job description
drafting techniques. Basic Rules: Whatever format you opt to choose in drafting your
companys job descriptions, it is essential that they follow the Five Cs and they are:

1 Clear and concise with no ambiguous terms

2 Comprehensive with no key category missing
3 Communicated to the people they need to be communicated to
4 Consistent across the organization
5 Clever in the sense that a lot of research and thought has gone into preparing them

Getting Started
Before beginning to draft job descriptions, a certain amount of homework needs to be
done both in gaining an intimate understanding of the job itself as well as in coming to grips
with the industrys best practices. Spend a reasonable amount of time asking questions and
collecting answers about every facet of the job as it is and as it should be. Look at the
history of the role in your organization and its place in the organizational structure and ask if
any changes need to be made. Descriptions should evolve to incorporate learnings and
suggestions from incumbents, new business requirements, changes in business priorities,
changes in organizational structure and changing efficiency guidelines. Moreover, in
designing a role, it is essential to always consider measures that can be taken to make the
position more attractive, competitive, rewarding and productive.

 Steps to Writing Your Job Description

Once you are completely familiar with all aspects of the role, spend some time reading
external third party job descriptions to maximize your preparedness for the task ahead.
Look in industry journals, HR journals, leading jobsites (Bayt.com has over 4,500 fresh job
posts with job descriptions you can make use of), newspaper classifieds sections,
government HR manuals and specialized job description reference books to adopt phrases,
ideas and formats that work best for your role and organization. Completing this essential
groundwork will help ensure that job descriptions are actually an asset and engine for
growth rather than an unnecessary hindrance. Remember that job descriptions should be
forward-looking and a work in progress subject to amendment as you analyze how to
maximize the attractiveness and productivity of a certain role and not simply a static
snap-shot of the job as it is in your organization today.

The Components: Job descriptions should ideally include at a minimum each of the
following components:
1 Job title
2 Job Summary
3 Job Responsibilities
4 Reporting Lines
5 Minimum Qualifications/Requirements
6 Job Location
7 Salary and Benefits

1 Job Title
The job title should accurately and concisely reflect what the position entails. It should
reflect both the nature of the work as well as the level or seniority of the role eg. Business
Development Manager, Financial Analyst, IT Project Manager, Marketing Manager, Sales
Manager. Be careful what titles you choose as different titles entail different responsibilities;
for example Oce Manager, Secretary, Personal ssistant and Executive ssistant to
Chairman are not identical roles. Also be careful that the titles are consistent with the work
culture and the organizational structure and that they are compatible with identical roles in
the industry.

2 Job Summary
This is a broad overview of the job parameters and should in no more than three or four
sentences summarize the objective, general nature, function and scope of the position as
well as the level of the work entailed. You can think of it as the mission statement and goals
for the specific role.
3 Job Responsibilities
This is a description of what the person holding this role will actually do and be accountable
for. It should be a clear and concise list of the principal tasks, duties and responsibilities
associated with the role and that are critical for the roles success. In addition to the major
tasks, it is very wise to include the non-essential, second tier of tasks and responsibilities
that are of lower priority and consume less time but are also an integral part of the job. Be
as specific and concise as possible in describing tasks to avoid ambiguity and confusion and
try starting sentences with targeted action verbs that detail specific tasks eg Trains,
conducts, checks, leads, analyzes, researches, procures, hires, ensures, sorts, manages etc.
You may want to add a sentence like Participates in other projects that contribute to the
overall objectives of the firm, or performs other non-essential functions to ensure
flexibility of the role if/as the need arises.
4 Reporting Lines
This should indicate clearly who this position reports to and any other important
supervisory roles, reporting lines and relationships.
5 Minimum Qualifications/Requirements
This section should list the minimum requirements needed to perform the job. Education,
experience, training, skills, abilities, knowledge; licenses and qualifications all fall under this
category. Special characteristics and abilities essential to successful performance on the job
should also be noted eg. highly proactive, high levels of motivation, strong desire to succeed,
high level of integrity, strong work ethic, ability to work in a team environment, ability to
work under pressure, willingness to travel, ability to lead a large team, willingness to relocate
etc.

 Steps to Writing Your Job Description

6 Job Location
The location where the position is to be based should be clearly stated. Travel requirements,
if any, and plans to relocate the job are also helpful.
7 Salary and Benefits
In order to determine the appropriate salary and benefits you will need to ascertain the
value of this role to your business. Salaries by Bayt.com provides employers with the ideal
tool for industry benchmarking analysis, and you should accompany internal benchmarking
as you decide how to grade and compensate this role. Salary surveys such as those
published annually by Bayt.com can also be helpful in this exercise. Many companies prefer
not to include actual figures for job descriptions used for recruitment purposes and prefer
instead to state salary commensurate with qualifications or salary to be discussed during
interview. Leaving the salary field undetermined however may fail to filter out candidates
whose expectations are widely divergent from the parameters of the role.

In conclusion, a clear, concise, precise and well researched job description will help not only
at the recruitment stage to ensure full relevance and competence of candidates hired; but
also at the day-to-day management and performance appraisal stage. Confusion and
ambiguity regarding job role and responsibilities is eliminated once the roles are clearly
defined as are costly redundancies and inefficient overlaps. Moreover, in many industries,
regulatory and compliance considerations necessitate the need for clean and clear lines of
responsibility and accountability.
