How Job Descriptions Help Your Company Grow

Job descriptions may seem like an odd thing to focus on when your organization is ramping up for growth. It's hard to want to do administrative work when there are things to do and people to hire.

It turns out that accurate and complete job descriptions are the building blocks for growth. The right job descriptions can help you:

• See and organize new roles
• Understand what skills and roles you need next
• Find and hire the right people
• Monitor and address competitive pay and pay equity
• See career paths and opportunities in your organization for recruiting and retention

When you understand the skills and experience needed for each role and how each position fits into the organization, you can see where you are, where you want to be, and where to start to get there.

With the right tools and job descriptions, managing a period of growth can also be easy. Salary.com's JobArchitect can help you by streamlining the work.

Use a comprehensive content library to quickly build compelling and inclusive job descriptions. Then create, edit, and compare job descriptions to see where roles are similar and different and assess what you need.

Create branded job description templates so you always have the right legal language and everything else needed for quick approvals. You then have an approved sample job posting that makes writing the next one even faster and easier.

Check for bias in your job postings using Bias Check. It reviews the language used and lets you know if there is hidden bias. Then it gives suggestions to improve your phrasing.

Company-wide access means HR, recruiters, and hiring managers can review, give feedback, and approve new descriptions and job postings. You can eliminate bottlenecks and version sorting because the tools and information are all in one place where everyone can use them.

When your organization is growing fast, eliminate drag by streamlining the processes. It's an exciting and busy time. Let us help make your job easier.
