IHtowrigger  \nsome kind of reaction or even better, action? All that pressure, coming  \ndown on one person’s words about a job worth applying for.  \nCopy-paste  \nI remember my boss at my first recruitment gig telling me “just take a look at the jobs on *insert job board name here* and copy and paste the parts that are relevant and sound good”.  \nMercifully that gig didn’t last very long. But for many years afterwards I still found myself swimming in a sea of mediocre job descriptions through my work at various job boards.  \nAnd then came Vend-the first place where writing a job description with meaning was so easy it hurt. At last, a genuine company with values that meant more  \n You  \nhave a boss who would high five you for your creative use of swear words in job  \ndescriptions  \nthan words on the wall. A place where people truly could be themselves,  \nwhere work and life blends together. A place where amazing things happen every day and you have a boss who would high five you foryour creative use of swear words in job descriptions.  \nThere’s nothing mind-altering about our job descriptions, there’sno real science to it. Not all of them are particularly creative or exciting but what matters is that the words mean something; there are stories to be told. And what people get when they come in for their first day at Vend is consistent with the story that convinced them  \nto come aboard. There are no surprises (except the good ones) and in every instance the job descriptions are a product of our values and a  \nstatement of why we’re here in the first place.  \nThat word “why” is the one that really matters. Like Simon Sinek’s famous TedTalk: “it’s not what you do or how you do it, it’s why”. This book has been put together by Workable because they want the recruitment world to be better. They want companies to hire better. They want talent to be inspired and they want those finding that talent to focus on what’s important: helping amazing people find amazing jobs, and doing it in a way that’s human and authentic.  \nKirsti is what some would call a recruitment tech geek and is a big fan of doing things differently. She has worked in the online space for the last 7 years, mostly in the recruitment industry with a focus on using social media & technology in recruitment. In April 2013 Kirsti joined Vend, a Kiwi start-up success story and global software exporter as Head of Talent. Since joining Vend has grown from 37-180 with offices now in Melbourne, Toronto, San Francisco, London & Berlin as well as the Auckland HQ.  \nThe Style Guide For Job Descriptions  \nGiven that the purpose of a job description is to attract applications it would make ","cbCaila4qFavNmOt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaila4qFavNmOt","pdf",3284947,185,"English","# Foreword\n## The Style Guide For Job Descriptions\n## Pimp Your Job Descriptions Examples\n## Accounting/Finance\n## Admin/Customer Service\n## Computing/IT\n## Real Estate/Engineering/Construction\n## Healthcare/Pharma\n## Hospitality/Travel\n## Law Enforcement/Security/Logistics\n## HR/Legal/Education/Training\n## Marketing/PR/Media\n## Sales/Retail","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a job description in this compendium?\",\"answer\":\"To attract applications by using inviting, meaningful language that accurately describes the role and what candidates can expect.\"},{\"question\":\"How should job descriptions be structured according to the style guide?\",\"answer\":\"Break the role into bullet points based on an average day, discard trivial items, and keep the list to no more than about half a dozen points.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the compendium emphasize choosing job titles that match search behavior?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants often use search engines, so job titles should use terms people would realistically look up (e.g., “designer” instead of “graphical ninja”).\"}]","Job Description Compendium - Nikos Moraitakis Style Guide For Job Descriptions | PDF",65]
