A Job Description, or JD, is a document that clearly outlines the responsibilities, skills, and qualifications required for a specific role. A good job description helps attract the right candidates and sets clear expectations from the start of the recruitment process. It usually includes the job title, reporting structure, key duties, required experience, and salary range where applicable. HR and hiring managers usually work together to write an accurate job description before starting recruitment.

Definitions are general guidance. Your organisation's policies and applicable local requirements determine how a term is used in practice.
