1️⃣ Identify Active Job Titles & Compile Existing JDs

Start simple by making a list of all the active job titles in your organization. Your HRIS should be able to quickly generate a report that does this.

<aside> 💡 Pro Tip: Prioritize job titles that need immediate attention Focus first on roles with the highest number of employees, high turnover, or key positions tied to your organization’s critical goals. Also consider roles in departments that are going through changes or need compliance with updated regulations.

With your list of job titles in hand, compile all existing job descriptions (JDs) and make note of any job titles that do not have an associated JD.

If your job descriptions are scattered across systems or departments, centralize them in one accessible location, such as Microsoft SharePoint, Google Drive, or Mosh JD.

Mosh JD brings simplicity and powerful functionality to your job description library.

Now that you’ve got a bird’s-eye view of the current state of your job description library, it’s time to decide on a format for your updated JDs.
