Job Description

A job description is a document that describes the roles and responsibilities of an open job position. The acronym for the job description is JD. The content in the job description varies from organization to organization. Some job descriptions are brief and focus only on the duties and tasks required to complete the role. Other job descriptions provide details about expectations, required qualifications, and the organizational context. A well-crafted job description helps attract the right candidates, sets clear expectations for both the employer and employee, and serves as a reference for performance evaluations and career development.
