It’s no small job to write a good job description.

Before you hop online to post that new job description for the hire you needed yesterday, stop. The effort you spend on the front end writing a great job description will save your organization time and money; you won’t be wasting precious time sifting through endless resumes of people who don’t have the right skill set or won’t be a good fit. You may get fewer applicants, but you’ll get more of the ones you want to hire.
