Why do I need to waste my time writing a job description? You might ask.

The answer is: To save Time … & be able to Sleep

The Job Description is there to evaluate how successful the person you hired is in the role they were hired for. Consider it the essential evaluation tool to manage expectations... A syllabus for success.

Investing the time up front will allow you to set the performance metrics the person needs to achieve in the critical first 90 days. Thus cementing quantifiable data to ensure a successful hire. 

And that just helps all parties sleep better at night!
