Job Descriptions: Write Them Right | Expert Workshop | Registration begins on August 15

A bad hire is one of the most expensive mistakes a small business can make, and it often starts with a vague or misleading job description.

In person only, limited seating | Please only register if you are committing to attend | Registration opens on August 15 

Too often, business owners either copy a job description from the internet, create a “wish list” of unrealistic expectations, overly rely on AI-generated content, or skip the process altogether. Each approach creates risk: attracting the wrong candidates, unclear expectations, wasted time, and costly hiring mistakes.

The job description is the first hiring decision you make, before you ever meet a candidate. This session gives you a framework to write job descriptions that work: clear, legally sound, and honest about what you actually need. You will also learn how to use AI tools to speed up the process without outsourcing your judgment to an algorithm.

Who This Is For
This roundtable is ideal for;

• Solopreneurs preparing to hire a VA, contractor, or first employee

• Small business owners who have hired before but never from a written framework

• Experienced business owners who have used job postings copied from the interne, and gotten mixed results

• Anyone who wants to hire with confidence and protect themselves in the process

What you will walk out with: 

• A completed or near-complete job description for a real role in your actual business
• A framework you can reuse for every future hire
• A practical approach to using AI tools without losing your voice or your protection
• Peer feedback from other business owners in the room
• Confidence to post a role and attract the right candidates from day one

Highlights:

• Free event, no membership required
• Focused on growth-stage businesses
• Real, relevant conversation 
• Supportive, collaborative environment
• Networking opportunities with like-minded business owners
