A well written and detailed job description and person specification will help a candidate decide whether they are suitable for your roles, encouraging quality applications for you.
Not surprisingly jobseekers like to have a good idea about the skills and qualities required for the job, as well as what the job is likely to entail and the responsibilities they may take on if successful at interview.
It’s a good idea to include some information about the company in your first paragraph. As well as the name of the company job seekers will want to know about the type of company that is hiring, for example, a multinational, SME or startup?
Add industry sector, location and job title to the main job description along with some relevant keywords. If you are not sure what to choose then your IrishJobs.ie account manager will be able to advise you.
