Employers Are Destined to be Disappointed, Unless They Can Describe Their Jobs Properly

If employers do not put what they are looking for accurately in their job postings, they can't expect to attract the right candidates. It is like going on a road trip through New York State with a map of Arizona. Good luck.

In our experience, the vast majority of disappointed employers tend to complain about the unqualified applicants who apply to their jobs. However, the root of the problem can really be the unclear job posting. The employers complain that the unqualified candidates who apply to their jobs are wasting their time but in fact it might be them who are wasting the candidate's time.

Many employers need help with writing a clear job description and/or job posting.

The job description/job posting should include the following:

1) A brief description of the company
2) Accurate job role and task description
3) Clear directives of mandatory requirements, licenses, skills or years of experience
4) A brief description of the company culture or personality, or type of person this job and company would appeal to
5) An accurate pay range, as well as a list of benefits, perks, or anything else that might attract or appeal to certain candidates
6) How, when and on what criteria the employer will follow up with the candidate
7) The geographic area that a candidate should live in and/or whether paid or unpaid relocation is an option

Title is important as well, it should include the following:

1) Job Title
2) Level Of Job (Senior, Junior, CEO Etc)
3) Geography City & State/Province

One of the advantages of using the internet to recruit is having considerably more room to write a good - and accurate - job posting, so take advantage, and start out-recruiting the competition!

Perkins settles harassment suit - cook fired after reporting the incidents will receive $127,000 from restaurant

A former Perkins cook who says she was sexually harassed and then fired for complaining will receive $127,000 in a settlement with the restaurant.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued the Midway Perkins Restaurant and Bakery in St. Paul after the cook claimed she was fired for retaliation after she complained that her supervisor made sexual comments to her, touched her inappropriately and appeared uninvited at the woman's home.

The woman, Maria Torres, was fired within one week of complaining to the regional manager about the sexual harassment. The EEOC said that after Torres complained, the company investigated her immigration status rather than the sexual harassment.

A consent decree, filed Thursday, requires Perkins to:

* Train existing and new employees
* Provide a Spanish-language interpreter if an employee requests one
* Post the lawsuit and policies prohibiting sexual harassment and retaliation in select restaurants
* Post a hot line for employees to report any violations
* Report any complaints of sexual harassment or retaliation to the EEOC for monitoring.
The consent decree is in affect for two years.

"Whatever it takes, the EEOC is going to vigorously pursue issues of workplace discrimination until they are equitably resolved - until justice is served," said Deborah Powers, an EEOC attorney who led the case.

The attorney representing Perkins referred calls to a Perkins spokeswoman, who did not return a call. Perkins' parent company is based in Memphis, Tenn.

In May, a federal court judge cleared the sexual harassment and retaliation claims to go to trial, which was set for Aug. 20. In a separate decision last year, the judge noted that if the employee was fired because of a good-faith belief that she was unable to work legally, it wouldn't matter whether she was undocumented, nor would that be relevant to her sexual-harassment claim.
