Make the work and hiring process clear, and plan for a useful first day.
Explain the actual job
Describe the duties, location, expected schedule, application steps, and training. Be clear about what has been decided and what is still under discussion. Applicants should be able to understand the role without guessing what a vague requirement means.
Prepare for the first day
Identify who welcomes a new employee, explains the work, and answers questions. Consider how schedules and changes will be communicated. Use qualified guidance for screening and employment requirements that apply to your organization.
Questions to carry with you
- Are the duties and schedule clearly described?
- What will the first day involve?
- Who can an applicant or new employee contact for clarification?
One manageable next step
Walk through one job posting and its follow-up process. Replace unclear language with the actual next step.
