Creating clear job descriptions for successful talent acquisition + retention
A well-written job description is more than a task list — it’s the foundation to help you attract and retain great talent.
From a recruitment lens it sets the tone, attracts the right people, and helps your organisation stand out. From a retention lens it forms a foundational part of a career development conversation. At JourneyHR, we craft job profiles that are tailored to each role. They reflect your culture and values, and help you build the high-performing team your business needs to thrive.
Why accurate job descriptions matter
In a competitive hiring market, your job description is often the first impression an applicant gets and whether they get the job or not you want them to have the best experience from the start.
A good job description needs to do more than describe a role — it should spark interest. It needs to set expectations, and show what it’s like to work in your team. When done right, job descriptions help filter in the right people and filter out those who aren't the right fit.
Aligning roles with your culture and values
The best hires don’t just have the right skills — they align with your company’s ethos.
That’s why we embed your culture and values into every job profile. It gives applicants a feel for your environment and helps you attract people who’ll thrive in your team. And to retain your talent it is important that they have clear career pathways available to them so having access to internal job descriptions helps your managers to have fair and consistent conversations to help their people progress.
Attracting top talent with standout job profiles
Generic job ads get lost in the noise.
We write descriptions that are clear, engaging, and tailored to speak directly to your ideal candidates.
The result? Applications from people who are not only qualified, but genuinely excited about the opportunity.
The benefits of customised job descriptions
Tailored for each role
Every job is different, so we don’t do copy-paste templates. Our descriptions clearly define each role’s responsibilities, required skills, and success metrics — setting everyone up for success from day one. Plus, we recommend regular reviews to ensure each profile stays current and relevant.
Legally sound and risk-reducing
Our job descriptions are designed with legal compliance in mind. That means clear expectations, fair criteria, and alignment with employment law — reducing your risk and creating transparency throughout the hiring process.
Ready to improve your hiring process with job descriptions that actually work?
Let’s build role profiles that are clear, inclusive, legally compliant — and compelling enough to attract the best people.
