usage of hyphen

Hi,

I have difficulty in understanding why a pair of parentheses is not needed since two factors seem to be involved: 1) the use of a hyphen seems correct since two nouns, that are 'job' and 'seeker', are meant for one word and 2) the compound adjective 'job-seeker' seems to be an unusual use of that compound noun adjective.

Action verbs represent job-seeker skills and accomplishments.

I am concerned with the numbert 2 factor, but it seems unnecessary to add a pair of parentheses on top of the existing hyphen; but can't erase from my mind that 'job-seeker' as an adjective is an unusual usage, if not a rare usage, of both words -- job and seeker. If the forementioned two conditions exist for an adjective, should I go for a hyphen first and ignore the need for parentheses (if that is a right thing to do, which I don't agree with at this time, partly due to my own inability to decide on the matter).
