Script

An employment vacancy is the employment that lacks the employee now or would possibly lack the employee in some future. The vacancy might be (a) funded and available right now, (b) sought for the candidate pipeline; hiring of pipeline candidates is contingent on some circumstance, for instance, awarding a contract, (c) fictionally created to research the job market of potential employment candidates and create or update their database, if the need unexpectedly emerges. Those employment candidates who are found through that research might be included in the pipeline as well.
Recruitment need refers to a necessity to hire one or more new employees to satisfy one or more business needs.
On one hand, the need is wider than the funded and available vacancy because the need doesn't specify the number of the vacancies and their scopes. On another hand, the need is more real than an abstract vacancy.
When a unique business need emerges, someone in the hiring organization conducts job analysis, which is an assessment that defines jobs and the behaviors necessary to perform them.
Based on that analysis, a recruiter or someone else in the organization creates one or more job descriptions. The description refers to a written statement that describes a job.
Credential creep is the process of inflation of the minimum credentials required for a given job and the simultaneous devaluation of the value of diplomas and degrees. Those who create the job description sometimes inflate the minimum credentials to get fewer, but better candidates.
A job opening is another term that is often used for an employment vacancy.

Position Requirements is the successor lectio.
