Job description builder

Builder

A clean, printable description of a role — assembled from what you write about the job, and from nothing else.

Why there is no template library

Because a description that came out of a template is a description of a generic job, and the whole value of the document is that it describes yours. The duties people actually do at your site, in your building, on your shift pattern are the ones worth writing down — and they are the ones a candidate can recognize, and the ones you can hold somebody to. A blank list is harder to fill in and produces a better document.

A description of a role, never of a person

Nothing about an individual belongs in a job description, and no requirement should describe a characteristic rather than the work. The form says so where the requirements are typed. If a line you have written describes who somebody is rather than what the job needs, that is worth noticing before it goes out.

What it feeds

The description is usually the second thing that happens. It comes out of the intake conversation, it is filled against a requisition, and it is what your interview questions should be about. Written in that order it is a document that means something; written last, it is paperwork.

A drafting tool. CompliMaint writes no part of the description, suggests no duties or requirements, marks no duty as an essential function, and reaches no conclusion about pay, grade, classification or exempt status. It states no legal requirement about what a job description must contain and gives no employment-law advice. Everything runs on your device.

Questions people ask

Does it write the description for me?
No, and that is the product rather than a limitation. There is no library of duties, no template by job title and no suggested requirement anywhere in this tool. A description assembled from a template describes a job nobody actually does, and it is the document somebody reads back to you when they dispute what they were hired for. Every word on the printed page is a word you typed.
Does it mark essential functions?
No. In some places that term carries real legal weight, and a decision about which of your duties are essential has consequences for real people. A website making that determination from a template, about a job it has never seen, would be doing something it has no business doing. Write the duties honestly; if you need them classified, that is a conversation with somebody who knows your obligations.
Will it tell me if the role is exempt, or suggest a pay range?
No to both. Whether a role is exempt from overtime turns on the real duties and the real pay under wage and hour law, not on a job title in a form. There is no pay field, no grade, no classification and no salary benchmark here, and there will not be.
Can I write more than one?
Yes. Each description gets an id of its own the moment you start it, so filing a second one creates a second document rather than overwriting the first. Use Start a new description when you are done with one — typing over a filed draft would update that same document, which is the failure this tool is built not to have.
