Search by title or filter by sector. Every spec covers duties, qualifications, reporting lines, and current salary data, written the way a search consultant scopes a real mandate.

2

Make it yours

Download the free Word template, replace the bracketed placeholders with your institution's details, and adjust the requirements to the seat you are actually filling.

3

Post it, or hand it to us

Use the finished description anywhere. When the seat is critical, Excelon runs the search: a vetted slate in three to five weeks, backed by a placement guarantee.

Questions

Sample job description questions, answered

What is a sample job description?
A sample job description is a complete, ready-to-adapt template for a specific role, covering the mission of the position, key responsibilities, qualifications, reporting structure, and compensation context. Ours are written from the hiring expectations we see in live retained searches rather than scraped from other postings.
Are these free to use?
Yes. Every spec in the library is free to read, and every one includes a free downloadable Word template you can adapt for your own posting with no attribution required.
How current is the salary data?
Salary sections are refreshed against current national compensation data and note how sector, institution size, and geography move the range, so you can benchmark an offer rather than guess.
Will you write the real one for us?
That is the day job. Excelon Associates has run retained and contingency searches since 2007, delivering an average slate of five vetted candidates in three to five weeks. Start with the hire form and we will scope the role with you.
