Job descriptions can also be the most difficult part of a recruiter’s job. Job posts are essentially talent brand marketing, job descriptions are meant for use on your career site and for links in job posts to give a job seeker more detailed information.

We’ve put together a job description template for the Recruiter or Recruiting Manager position. We’ve put together a basic set of guidelines on how to write an effective job description posting and template.
