Use inclusive, unbiased language: Avoid words that could discourage certain groups from applying. Keep the description focused on the core requirements of the job.
Sell the position and your company: Job descriptions are a recruiting tool. Highlight the benefits, perks, and growth opportunities to get candidates excited about joining your team.
Be realistic about requirements: Including a long list of qualifications could deter great candidates. Distinguish between the true must-haves and the nice-to-haves.
Provide salary information when possible: Including a salary range increases transparency and helps you attract candidates whose expectations align with what you can offer.
Keep it concise: Aim for 300-700 words. Use short paragraphs, bullet points, and clear section headings to make the description scannable and easy to read.
