How to craft a job brief that attracts top talent?
The job title should be clear and precise to attract the right candidates.
To Attract a Small Candidate Pool:
Biomedical Device Engineer
Medical Device Design Specialist
Regulatory Biomedical Engineer
Use these when you’re looking for candidates with specific expertise or experience. For example, if your project requires deep knowledge in regulatory compliance for medical devices, titles like "Regulatory Biomedical Engineer" will attract candidates with that niche skill set.
To Attract a Large Candidate Pool:
Biomedical Engineer
Medical Engineer
Biomedical Technician
Use these when you want to cast a wider net to get a larger pool of candidates. For instance, "Biomedical Engineer" will attract candidates with a range of skills and experiences, offering more flexibility in evaluating potential hires.
The job summary should provide a high-level overview of the role, the company, and the impact the role will have on the organization. It should be enticing enough to grab the attention of top talent.
A detailed list of responsibilities and requirements helps candidates understand what is expected of them. Include both technical skills (hard skills) and non-technical skills (soft skills).
Top talent seeks more than just a job; they want growth and a supportive culture. Highlighting your company’s culture and benefits can make your job description stand out.
Encourage candidates to apply by including a call to action at the end of the job description. Make it easy for them to understand how to apply and what the next steps are.
