Job Descriptions vs. Job Listings

This article is to help users understand the difference between job descriptions and job listings and what part they play in the hiring process.

Job Description

• A job description, on the other hand, is an internal document that provides a detailed breakdown of the role's duties, expectations, and required skills.
• It serves as a reference for both hiring teams and employees, ensuring clarity about the position's scope and responsibilities.
• Each job requisition is tied to a single job description, ensuring consistency in the role's defined responsibilities, qualifications, and expectations across all associated job listings.

Job Listings

• A job listing is a public-facing advertisement designed to attract candidates to apply for a position.
• It includes key highlights such as the job title, location, salary range, and a brief overview of responsibilities and qualifications.
• You can create multiple job listings under a single job requisition, tailoring each one to target specific talent pools or candidates in different locations. This approach allows for customized messaging and job promotion strategies while maintaining a unified hiring process for the position.
• When utilizing the Job Ad Marketplace feature for distributing to other job boards (Linkedin, Indeed, etc.) you will link your Job Listing to the third party job boards.
