If you’re recruiting a computer programmer, you might enter the specific languages needed in the position.
Job title.
This entry seems obvious, but it can be tricky. If you make the title too general, your posting will never find its way into the proper hands; if you make it too specific and technical, the position may sound too specialized even to appropriate candidates.Some companies use job titles that are well understood within that organization but are not commonly understood even within that particular industry.
For example, one of us once had the title of Deputy Editor for a reference publication. This particular job title is not common today within the publishing community, and were we to post an opening for it on a Web site, we’d probably change it to something such as Supervising Editor or Managing Editor.
WARNING: Be sure that the job title is correct in both the posting and in the offer letter. We once worked in a department in which someone was hired with the official title of Assistant Accountant when it should have been Accounting Assistant. Issues arising from this mistake haunted the department for the duration of the employee’s tenure.
