Company Information Section
Now that you have completed the Job Description Information section, you can finalize your job description by providing an executive summary of your company, its culture, and what the total rewards package includes.

At the start of this section, you will want to introduce your company by summarizing details on how it started, when it started, what products or services it provides, or what distinguishes it differently from its competitors.
Here would be a great opportunity to market your company’s brand and image by writing the description in a way that brings in excitement and engages your applicants to want to work for your company and contribute to its overall success!
Total Rewards
In this section, you will provide the details which outline what the position’s total rewards incentives are.
