Before we dive deeper, here are the top takeaways that’ll help you start on the right foot when posting a job. 

Here are the upshots:

- Write a simple and easy-to-understand job posting 
- Add a pay range and location in the job description
- Answer Indeed’s prompts when posting a job for a better clarity
- Include screener questions and skill sets to find receptive and experienced candidates. 

> 💡 Tip: Sponsor your job posting for continuous and increased visibility. 

But remember, job postings don’t come cheap. And why waste money on a job posting that’s not written with much thought? 

It’s time to settle down the difference between job description and job posting once and for all. 

## The difference between job description and job posting 

In layman’s terms, job descriptions are for internal use, whereas job postings are an external [marketing tool to catch candidates](https://gohire.io/blog/best-marketing-tools-for-startups)' attention. 

### Job description vs job posting

The main difference between job postings and job descriptions lies in their purpose. A job description is an internal document that serves as a starting point for employers to write down the responsibilities and expectations regarding the position. In contrast, job postings are a marketing tool to sell an open position that includes a job description. 

Let’s understand the difference between a job description and a job posting from a company standpoint: 

Concisely, a job description lists all the essential and non-essential functions of the job position. While in a job posting, you consider galvanising fine points like perks, sign-on bonuses, flexibility, paid leaves, etc.   

Though [creating a job description](https://gohire.io/free-job-description-generator) for each job position is crucial, a thoughtfully-written job posting function is to attract skilled and talented candidates and motivates them to apply. 

So, with a completed job description, posting a job on Indeed takes at most 10 minutes. Here’s a step-by-step flowchart of the job posting process. 

## A step-by-step guide to posting a job on Indeed 

Let’s investigate this in more detail: 

### Step 1: Go to the employer page on Indeed

Click on the “post a job” option on  [indeed.com/hire](https://www.indeed.com/hire) to start. You will be asked to create your account with an email address, password and company name. 

### Step 2: Create your employer account 

Complete creating your Indeed employer account by providing all the credentials, like your full name, contact information, etc. 

### Step 3: Write your job details 

Select a simple job title, followed by the area of the job. Next, define the type of the job, meaning is it a full-time, part-time or freelancing option and include a salary slab if possible. Quality candidates are more open to applying for a position if the salary is included in your job posting. 

### Step 4: Ctrl + V your job description 

CTRL + C and CTRL + V your job description, or you can write your job description in the given space. Make sure you edit your job description so it’s easy to understand for candidates. 

### Step 5: Mention screener questions 

It would be best to consider adding screener questions to validate whether candidates meet your preferred or must-have skills and qualifications. First, ask them about their expertise, skills or certifications, then use their answers to vet applicants in your employer dashboard. 

### Step 6: Make the hard decision - sponsor your job post 

[Indeed](https://gohire.io/indeed) provide an option to upgrade your job post to a sponsored job once you submit your job information. Sponsored job posts maximise visibility with relevant job lookers, while standard listings fade in search results over time.
