Your Path to Clear Roles
Build a Stronger Workforce Now
I am Iain White, and I have spent years helping organisations refine their hiring strategies. Position Descriptions act as the foundation for effective recruitment. They define responsibilities, outline required skills, and clarify organisational expectations. My core belief has always been people first. By crafting descriptions that align with company goals, you support both your workforce and your bottom line.
MY APPROACH TO WRITING POSITION DESCRIPTIONS
My approach involves a balanced process that puts the focus on the humans behind the job titles. I examine business needs, speak to current team members, and map out the critical functions that each role demands. This method combines technical detail with practical insights. It results in Position Descriptions that help businesses thrive without piling on jargon or complexity.

Defining Roles And Responsibilities
Clear roles and responsibilities form the backbone of efficient teams. When your staff understands their tasks, they can focus on delivering results. Position Descriptions that specify exact tasks, required expertise, and key performance indicators avoid confusion. They also promote accountability, which frees you from micromanaging and keeps everyone on the same page.
Attracting Qualified Candidates
Job seekers often skim countless listings. They look for clarity and relevance. A strong Position Description highlights what truly matters for the role and places your company in a good light. Well-structured details remove guesswork, which pulls in motivated candidates who resonate with your industry and values.

Position Descriptions Services We Provide
Custom Position Descriptions
Every business is different, and so are its job roles. That’s why our custom Position Descriptions are tailored to reflect your specific industry, business needs, and organisational culture. We collaborate closely with you to understand the role’s purpose, team dynamics, and key responsibilities. This approach ensures the job descriptions we create are not generic templates but detailed, accurate documents that attract the right talent and clearly outline expectations from day one.
Job Role Analysis
Before crafting any Position Description, we conduct a thorough job role analysis. This involves examining the core tasks, required skills, reporting structure, and the role’s impact on overall business goals. By digging into the finer details, we identify what makes the role critical to your organisation. This analysis helps us create descriptions that align with real business needs and avoid unnecessary overlaps, ensuring roles are well-defined and understood by both candidates and internal teams.
Competency-Based Descriptions
Great hiring goes beyond checking off qualifications. Our competency-based descriptions emphasise the skills, knowledge, and behaviours needed for success in the role. We identify the competencies that directly contribute to performance, such as problem-solving, technical expertise, or communication, and highlight them in the description. This method ensures that you attract candidates who bring more than just experience to the table; they bring the right mindset and capabilities to thrive in the role.
Template Development
Consistency is key when scaling your hiring process. That’s why we develop reusable, standardised templates for Position Descriptions that you can use across various roles. These templates are easy to adapt, ensuring that future job descriptions maintain a consistent tone, structure, and level of detail. By creating a centralised format, we help streamline your hiring efforts, reduce time spent drafting descriptions from scratch, and improve overall hiring efficiency.
Position Audits And Updates
As your business evolves, so do its roles and responsibilities. Job descriptions that were accurate a year ago may no longer reflect current needs. We conduct audits of your existing Position Descriptions, identifying gaps, outdated information, or areas needing improvement. Once we assess your current descriptions, we make necessary updates to reflect changes in responsibilities, technology, or organisational goals, keeping your workforce aligned with business priorities.
Alignment With HR And Compliance Standards
A well-written Position Description does more than just outline job duties, it also helps protect your business. We create descriptions that meet HR best practices and adhere to legal requirements, minimising the risk of compliance issues. Whether it’s addressing equal employment opportunity laws or ensuring descriptions are unbiased and inclusive, we prioritise accuracy and fairness. By aligning with industry standards, you reduce legal exposure while creating clear expectations for employees.
