The job posting is the condensed version of the job description, aimed at external recruiting, used in job ads to communicate the role to candidates. It contains a summary of the role, the required qualifications and the contract terms. It does not include KPIs, decision-making boundaries or detailed internal relationships: its function is selection, not operations. Using the job posting in place of the job description for someone already in the role is the first organizational mistake many owner-led companies make: neither the candidate nor the team member gets the information they need.
