Create template and prototype for job descriptions on ODI website

[adam-little]

Create more "user-friendly" job descriptions that live on the ODI website. These JDs can act like summaries that link to the official posting on CalCareers.

The benefits I see are:

• When sharing our open roles on LinkedIn, people can learn about the role directly on our website with easy access to the rest of our content
• We can reduce the amount of information in the JD, making it easier for people to quickly understand the essence of the role
• More flexibility to do nice things visually (e.g. use our process step list design)

We can start with:

• Engineer Management Lead
• UX Design & Research Management Lead

These would live under "Join us" but not appear in the main menu. They could be linked from the Join Us page as well as the recruitment component on the Homepage.

The talent team might be interested in partnering on the content work. 🙂

I just learned that both of these positions close on 4/26

We could make this issue more general and turn it into designing a template for job postings on the ODI website. If we did that, we could use one of the two postings so we could make a prototype to create a model with real info.

If content or design resources are available, OK to proceed with starting this effort with an eye toward a "fast follow" of this launch, as 3.0.1 release, if you will,

If those listings are closing, as I see above, we should still to the advance work for the next batch of listings.

[m-sullivan7]

Agreed. Let me check in with the talent team as the subject matter experts to see if they have the ability and interest to contribute.

@adam-little The talent team has been creating position summaries on LinkedIn. Here's the UX Design & Research Management Lead. How well do you feel this meets the goals you outlined in this issue?

(We could look at the recruitment process as a whole to identify pain points and how job postings on the ODI website could solve that, but I thought I'd start here.)

[adam-little]

Mapping out the recruitment process is a good suggestion.

LinkedIn aside, my hypothesis is that the CalCareers description is confusing and overwhelming and that we should give our website users a summary of the description before linking them to CalCareers.

Here's another approach. Before linking people to CalCareers, we could provide a really concise summary.

These are nice concepts for a high-level overview. I'm interested in hearing from the talent team whether we could send people to the LinkedIn posting instead of CalCareers. Either way, this is better than what we have now (in my non-subject matter expert opinion).

@mediajunkie @m-sullivan7 What's the status of this issue?

[m-sullivan7]

We got to a point where we needed to collaborate with the talent team to go further. Since the team has changed since we opened this and new staff will probably take time to get their feet under them, I don't see us working on this for a while.
