Struggling to fill a open role? It might not be a talent shortage - it could be your job description! 📋
Outdated or overly rigid job requirements often exclude exceptional candidates before they even have a chance to apply. That’s where Job Crafting comes in:
- Focus on core duties: Review and update job descriptions with accessibility in mind, stripping away unnecessary or outdated requirements.
- Look for flexibility: Ask whether requirements like a driving licence or strict working hours are genuinely essential, or if certain tasks can be adapted.
- Value transferable skills: Focus on underlying competencies rather than strict job titles or traditional qualifications - those sought-after skills might be more common in a different sector!
- Be realistic: Job crafting isn't about removing core business needs; it's about opening doors to a wider, untapped talent pool.
