IT Job Descriptions Highlighting Values
Meet Up wants to find candidates with the skill sets needed for each position they post. But it’s obvious from their job descriptions that they also want to find the candidates who believe in their mission as a company. It opens many of its listings with a couple short, inspirational paragraphs to get prospects excited. And then closes with a listing of the company values to illustrate the type of company the prospect will be working for and the mission their skills will support.
Those who are inspired by this mission will want to read on. Its job descriptions are short, easy to understand and definitely motivational.
