Agile Business Analyst

This proforma provides recruitment teams across the GSC HTC region with guidelines for producing brand-aligned job descriptions for internal and external job posting use, to produce a standardised and consistent candidate experience.

A standard business/company descriptor has been introduced as an interim solution, to help you get started and easily align with the desirable job descriptions look and feel on any new requisitions created, or existing requisitions that need to be reposted.

Best Practices in job descriptions writing:

• Use of UK English throughout your collation
• Only put 6 to 8 bullet points in the responsibilities and requirements sections
• Expand the acronyms to help external candidates understand the contexts
• Use of gender neutral language where feasible
• Avoid mentioning explicitly the number of years of work experience

Best Practices in formatting:

• Transfer your draft into Notepad before pasting into Taleo or Job Boards, this helps remove any unintended HTML codes and paragraph spacing being copied into the destination space
• Use the bullet point function in Taleo – the dot should not be an in-text character
• Ensure consistent text size, font, colour, and paragraph spacing
