Job Title & Job Description

Job Title basically defines the designation and Job Description (JD) about the profile.

In more simple words, Title is the role and JD is the list of tasks one has to do.

Each can help to describe the other. Means looking at the title you can brief the JD and vice versa.

Title complrises two, the Department and the Level

For Ex: HR (Department) Executive (Level)

As mentioned above that one defines the other, with the mentioned example (HR Executive) you can define the JD.

With HR's role we know that the person has to perform the functions of HR Department and being an Executive, he has to executive the processes set forth by the HOD.

List down the functions of the department and start writing the tasks.

Example: An HRD's functions includes Recruitment, Selection, Joining, Onboarding, Training, Payroll, Statutory Compliance, and more.

Now he being an Executive will perform the role accordingly.

Like in Recruitment, he has to handle Job Portal, manage Interviews, conduct training, update, training calendar, prepare attendance, fill online statutory forms and any other work instructed by the Management.

On the other hand, if the role is more demanding, you can frame the Job title as well 

As in the same case, if the executive has to perform more tasks, take decisions about interviewed candidates, update the Management about the needs to amend polocies, structure and other related matters, you can change the Title to Manager from Executive.

Both, the title and JD helps in finding the right match and also helps the potential candidate to understand his role better.
