Nonprofit Job Description Toolkit

Once your organization has defined the role it needs to fill, and the skills, experience, and level of education required (see Designingand Filling New Positions), you're ready to embark on the process of writing the job description.

The job description is your primary vehicle for announcing the open position to external and internal audiences, and is a valuable tool for finding candidates best-suited to your organization's needs. Investing the time and effort in writing a strong job description will enable your organization to accurately articulate the opportunity to potential candidates.
