As a talent acquisition leader, my relationship with a job posting is complicated. It’s the document I loathe and love at the same time. I use it in determining a candidate fit as part of our interview and selection process as well as the job posting process using job boards.
The job posting always changes, just like a hiring manager’s must haves or candidate requirements for the job. However, the job posting is the single most important part of the hiring and recruitment process. It’s the foundation and yet we, including myself, don’t give it the time, attention or respect that it deserves.
