Hi,

I tried to rewrite the code, In onclick javascript return do not mean return like a function.
Try this and let me know if there are any issues!

***************************************Code Start***************************************
{!REQUIRESCRIPT('/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js')}
var selectedLeads = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Lead)};

if(selectedLeads.length === 0)
{
    alert("select a record atleast");
}
else
{
    var index = 0, newobjs = {}, saveresults;
    var leads = sforce.connection.retrieve('Id,Name', 'Lead', selectedLeads);
   
    while(index < leads.length)
    {
        var newrec = new sforce.SObject('position__c');

        newrec.candidate__c = leads[index].Name;

        newrec.job_description__c = leads[index].Name;

        newobjs.push(newrec);

        index += 1;
    }
    saveresults = sforce.connection.create(newobjs);
   
}
