Podcast Alert: Job Descriptions: The Good, the Bad, and the Legacy

An interview with  Wendy Sellers, “The HR Lady®”

In this podcast episode of Talent Tango, Amir Bormand is joined by Wendy Sellers, ‘The HR Lady.’ They delve deeply into the importance of carefully crafted job descriptions, underscoring that many companies struggle due to several legacy elements and complexities. Wendy stresses that a well-written job description is crucial for the hiring process, employee reviews, and managing expectations within the role.

They discuss the difference between job descriptions and job ads and emphasize that both must align with an organization’s culture and values. Wendy also advocates for using job descriptions as a basis for employee reviews, a practice not often seen in businesses.

She offers resources for businesses looking to improve their recruiting processes, and touches on her book ‘Suck It Up, Buttercup: Be A Leader People Will Follow’.

With over 30 years in HR and leadership, I help organizations transform workplace culture by aligning values, communication, and accountability.  My training and speaking approach blends experience, data, psychology, and humor to make leadership real, reliable, and realistic—no buzzwords, just practical tools that the every-day human can apply immediately.   Why? Because culture isn’t built by policies—it’s built by consistency, presence, ongoing skill development and true leadership. I teach people to communicate with courage, set boundaries without guilt, and create teams that don’t need a vacation to recover from work.
