How to Write A Effective Position Description

Writing a good position description can be hard. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Be Precise: Make sure to specify daily tasks like customer service, inventory management and product merchandising. It's crucial that candidates clearly grasp what their main responsibilities will be.
Use Clear Language: Opt for straightforward language. Don’t throw around jargon that might confuse folks. Keep it simple and to the point so anyone can get it.
Include Award Classification: Specify the appropriate modern award classification for the position.
Stay Role-Focused: Keep the core focus on what a Sales Assistant does. Don't drift into irrelevant details about other roles or responsibilities that don’t apply directly. This helps potential candidates stay engaged.

How to Write Engaging Job Postings

Writing a job posting that attracts the right candidates is a challenge. We've put together some tips to help you get started:

Showcase Your Unique Benefits: Let candidates know what makes your company a great place to work. It could be flexibility, great staff discounts, or potential for growth within the business. These little perks could really catch their eye!
Use Targeted Keywords: Think about the terms job seekers are typing into search engines. Phrases like ‘customer service’, ‘retail experience’, or ‘product knowledge’ can draw in qualified candidates who know what they’re looking for.
Engage with an Inviting Tone: Try to keep it friendly and approachable. Avoid stuffy corporate language. Make sure the tone reflects your company's vibe - after all, you want candidates to feel excited about working with you!
Include a Clear Call-to-Action: Encourage the action by inviting candidates to apply, some examples are 'Apply Now' or 'Join Australias Fastest Growing Company'.

Can I use these templates for any role in my company?: Yes, these templates were made to be flexible and can be adapted for most roles. Simply go through and edit each section to fit your role.
What is the current contents of the templates?: We have populated the templates with a generic sales assistant position. You can use the current templates as a starting point and edit them to fit your specific sales assistant role.
How can I customise the position description for my business?: The best way is to download the Word document version and open it in a word processor e.g Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Once you have it loaded in your word processor, you can edit it to match your specific needs. Otherwise you can just copy and paste the content into your own document.
Can I use the same position description for multiple roles in my company?: It’s generally not recommended. Each role should have a tailored position description that accurately reflects its specific responsibilities and award classification. Using the same description, especially if the position is covered by an award, can lead to compliance issues.
How should I manage my position descriptions?: Many companies rely on shared drives or cloud platforms, but these often become disorganized and can become compliance risks over time. Award Matcher offers a streamlined solution to create and manage position descriptions, ensuring compliance with the modern award system.
How often should I review my position descriptions?: The frequency depends on your business and the position. A good rule of thumb is to review position descriptions every six months or whenever there are significant changes in responsibilities e.g a role gains supervisory duties.
How do I know which modern award classification my sales assistant position is covered by?: You can refer to the modern awards listed on the Fair Work Commission's website and match the role with the appropriate award and classification level. Alternatively, use our dedicated tool Award Matcher to help you find the modern award classification in a fraction of the time.
