Writing the best job descriptions and setting up interviews

Job descriptions are often the first piece of information about your business that potential candidates will see. That’s why it’s important they’re clear and have the right amount of detail for the role you’re advertising. Our Employer Advisers can help you write your job description to ensure you’re attracting the right people with the right skills.

They’ll also be able to help match the right candidates to your vacancies by helping you sift applications. They could even interview candidates for you, and where office space is available, let you use local job centres for those interviews.
