What makes a strong job description

  • A clear, specific title and a short summary of the actual day-to-day work.
  • Must-haves separated from nice-to-haves, with a realistic, short list.
  • A pay range, which raises both application volume and trust.
  • Plain language with no inflated jargon, and an inclusive, welcoming tone.

Words and patterns that quietly shrink your applicant pool

  • Rockstar, ninja, guru, and similar framing that skews who applies.
  • Gendered or age-coded language, and culture-fit phrasing without substance.
  • Long must-have lists that screen out strong people who meet most of them.
  • No pay range, which depresses applications and trust.
