4. How the role will develop
Remember to tell candidates what will the role look in a year or two years’ time - what opportunities for progression are there? Is there a defined career path? Again, strong candidates will look for specifications which consider the future.

5. Necessary personal qualities
What sort of person is required? Be careful here not to merely specify your own qualities or the qualities of someone you like, but what is best for the role. Remember, teams usually benefit from a mix of personalities.

6. Remuneration
The full benefits package should be included. Sometimes the smallest extra can persuade a candidate to accept a particular job.

7. Process and timescales
When will interviews take place? Who will be involved? How many interview or other stages are there?
