Rethinking the Job Description

Your guide to attracting top talent with impact-based job postings While the tools of talent acquisition have evolved rapidly over the past decade, there are some techniques that haven’t changed at all.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix this disconnect by adopting a different approach: impact descriptions. We’ll break down what an impact description is, tips for using this strategy at your company, and how to write a compelling one that resonates with the right candidates.
