HR Glossary

What is Job Posting?

A public advertisement of an open position that includes role details, requirements, compensation information, and instructions for candidates to apply.

Why it matters in hiring

Job Posting comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
