Job Description “Summary” appears at the top of the printed job description and should include items like the position summary, reporting, FLSA status, etc.

The “Job Requirements” appears at the bottom of the job description after the Key Responsibilities and Core Values and should include items like education / experience requirements, physical requirements, work environment, etc.

The text editor allows you to format your content that you have created or cut / pasted into these fields.

There are three tabs within the job description form: “Review Criteria”, “Interview Criteria” and “Interview Events”. Only "Review Criteria" is required.

Review Criteria

The “Review Criteria” tab allows you to set the results that employees within this job will be measured against in their reviews. The Review Criteria will also show up as “Key Responsibilities” on the printed Job Description, ensuring each employee’s Job Description and Review documents are consistent.

Each Criteria Title has a weighted percentage associated with it that you can adjust as you see fit. Just make sure all “Review Criteria” total to 100%. You can add or remove both Criteria sections and components.

Interview Criteria (Optional)

The “Interview Criteria” tab allows you to set the results that employees interviewing or applying for this job will be measured against in their interviews. Data entered under the “Interview Criteria” tab will be associated with this job title, but will only be used for the Interview Forms in Threads.

Each Interview Criteria Title has a weighted percentage associated with it that you can adjust as you see fit. Just make sure all “Interview Criteria” total to 100%. You can add or remove both Criteria sections and components.

Interview Events (Optional)

The “Interview Events” tab allows you to set the title and number of interview events required to hire someone new into this Job Title. Setting Interview Events will allow you to assign and track which employees conducted each stage of the interview process for each applicant. You can add or remove event types, but you must have at least three.
