The first thing you should have in an effective job description format is the job title. Make sure to use a job title that is concise and clearly points at the purpose and scope of the job.

Also, use industry terms like “Sales Associate” and “Office Manager” that candidates would normally search for, instead of “Sales ninja” or “The Office Handyman.” Otherwise, you’d come up empty when top candidates don’t find your job description or are turned off by your quirky language.

Company’s Basic Information
To drive interest in the right candidates, consider pitching about your organization in two to four sentences. Stir them up for an in-depth search of who you are, what your culture is and what it would be like to work with you.

Here’s your opportunity to brag about the benefits and perks of joining you. So let your job description directly communicate your purpose, values and what makes you a good fit for candidates.

Expectations and Summary of Role
In three to four sentences, give an overview of the job, how it fits into the organization and elements relating to its type, condition, duration and general work conditions. Having these in the job description format discourages less-qualified candidates from applying, thereby, saving you time.
