Concept: Job Descriptions
This topic provides general information for building AI solutions to read jobs, understand job requirements, and optimize searches based on job descriptions. It is not intended to instruct, provide legal guidance, or otherwise determine in any manner how your organization defines and publishes job descriptions, and it does not guarantee any results. Consult your human resources and legal team before incorporating any changes into your job descriptions or HR processes.
We recommend that you use objective rather than subjective requirements on job requisitions. Objective job requirements are targeted and specific. Examples:
- 2 years of experience in machine learning.
- 4 years of experience in developing open source frameworks.
- Certified in Python.
- Degree in computer science.
- VMware-certified professional.
Subjective requirements are more general. Examples:
- Computer science or related degree.
- Direct or indirect management experience.
- Familiarity with related disciplines.
- Hands-on experience in a related field of work.
- Relevant knowledge of Python.
We also recommend that you structure job descriptions in terms of priority.
Example: Your job requisition for an integration engineer requires a bachelor’s in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline and experience in these areas:
- Configuration control tools.
- Middleware and database technologies.
- Shell scripting and automation.
- UNIX or Linux.
To optimize the job description, you split the qualifications in terms of priority:
Priority | Qualifications |
|---|---|
Required |
|
Preferred |
