Define the role, selection process and responsibilities before starting recruitment.

Start with the actual requirement

A useful hiring brief explains the work to be done, essential skills, experience, location, work mode and engagement type. Distinguish essential requirements from preferences so applicants can make an informed decision.

Agree the selection process

Identify who screens applications, who conducts interviews and who makes the offer. Agree what evidence will be considered, how candidates will receive updates and which checks require their consent.

Review the listing before publication

Check that the description represents an available role and that compensation, deadlines and employer details are accurate. Moto HR employer job drafts require staff approval before appearing in the public catalog.

Close the loop

Keep the role’s availability current and record application-stage updates. When hiring ends, close the listing rather than leaving candidates to apply for an unavailable role.
