How to craft a job brief that attracts top talent?
The job title should be clear and precise to attract the right candidates.
For roles needing specialized skills like culinary arts, precise titles attract a small volume, specialized candidate pool. Effective titles include:
Executive Chef
Sous Chef
Pastry Chef
For general frontend roles, broader titles like "Line Cook" or "Kitchen Assistant" can cast a wider net and attract a larger pool of applicants.
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 the list of essential skills required for the role.
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.
