Job Description Best Practices
Lead with Impact
Start with what the role accomplishes, not a company overview. Candidates want to know what they'll do.
Be Specific
Replace vague requirements ('strong communicator') with concrete expectations ('present to stakeholders weekly').
Separate Must-Haves
Clearly distinguish required qualifications from nice-to-haves. This reduces candidate self-selection bias.
Include Compensation
Job posts with salary ranges get 30% more applications. Be transparent about compensation structure.
Use Inclusive Language
Avoid gendered or exclusionary terms. Tools like AI JD generators can flag problematic language.
Keep It Scannable
Use bullet points, clear sections, and concise language. Most candidates spend less than 60 seconds on a JD.
