With insights from Walton as well as a slew of other industry and human resources heads, the article offers actionable tools and strategies that companies should employ when crafting job descriptions for new and replacement positions.

Focusing on a typically little-considered dimension of the recruiting process, Ann Walton argues in the recently published report that without a transparent and insightful job description, companies will never be able to attract the kind of talent they are looking for in the deeply competitive current market.
According to a joint exposé from CNBC and the Department of Labor 4.3, million people quit their jobs this January, coming close to the record level observed last November. As the figures attest, the Great Resignation shows no sign of slowing down, which is why UpJourney’s new article is particularly timely.
Walton advocates for job descriptions that go beyond a simplistic summary of a generic position. Today’s candidates, she explains, want to gain a clearer understanding of what the role truly involves and the culture of the organization that they will be working with.
As such, as the report elaborates, Voices have been boosting its Candidate Value Proposition (CVP) by constructing ‘robust candidate role overviews’.
These overviews include details that have rarely been featured on traditional job descriptions like a transparent company overview with figures like eSAT or NPS scores. They also add an overview of Voices’ culture and core values, a team profile with LinkedIn links for key colleagues, and a typical career path outline for people in that position.
The goal, Walton tells the staff writers at UpJourney, is to give interested candidates a genuine picture of what working at Voices in that position will actually be like.
Ann Walton is the VP of People & Operations at Voices. She has over 25 years of experience in people management, recruiting, and thought leadership. Under her stewardship, Voices has developed a reputation for leading the way with innovative hiring, training, and employee retention strategies.
As Walton was quoted in the new report, “Our objective is to provide candidates with a transparent view of Voices and the role beyond the job posting and job description. Our hope is that the candidate will gain a better sense of ‘fit’ to make an informed decision about their interest and candidacy for the role. The best candidates are those who not only understand our organization and workplace culture but who also align with us in those areas. This leads to happier, more engaged colleagues, which is our ultimate goal.”
