With these considerations put together, you should be able to specify your need for and the use of the vacancy.

                                                                   

WRITE A VACANCY DESCRIPTION

And this needs to be communicated clearly and concisely. Below are the things that make up a well-written job description: http://www.businessknowhow.com/manage/JOBdesc.htm
