How Do You Update a Job Description?

There are two ways to update a job description. Choose the method based on whether you want to keep and adjust the current description or replace it entirely.

Method 1: Edit It Yourself

Best for: Making targeted changes while keeping the rest of the current description, such as updating a single responsibility or adding a new detail.

1. Click Positions in the Global Navigation.
2. Click the Position you want to update.
3. Click Edit Position.
4. On the Position Details tab, edit the text in the Job Description text field.

→ See 407 - Publish-Draft-Changes for instructions on publishing this change, or 408 - Discard-Draft-Changes to discard it.

Method 2: Replace It Using Ask Rover

Best for: Rewriting the job description from scratch when the current version no longer fits the Position.

1. Click Positions in the Global Navigation.
2. Click the Position you want to update.
3. Click Edit Position.
4. On the Position Details tab, click in the Job Description text field.
5. On the Rover tab, click Ask Rover.
6. Review the suggestion Rover generates. To see a different version, click Generate Another, then use the arrows next to the suggestion number to switch between suggestions.
7. Click Use Suggestion.

Note: Use Suggestion replaces the entire current job description. If you want to keep parts of it, copy them before clicking Use Suggestion, or use Method 1 to edit the suggestion afterward.
