Job Posting

A job posting is a public or internal announcement of an available role. It should explain the work, relevant requirements, application process and important employment conditions.

Example

An employer posts a vacancy with responsibilities, location, working pattern, selection steps and the pay information required or chosen for disclosure.

What to keep in mind

Keep the posting accurate and remove or update it when circumstances change. Avoid misleading flexibility claims, inflated requirements or vague wording that makes it difficult for candidates to assess suitability.
