The three lines that matter
Salary range, timezone overlap requirement, and eligible countries. Listings without them attract volume and waste everyone's time, including yours.
Cut the boilerplate
Rockstar, ninja, fast-paced, wear many hats. These filter out experienced candidates rather than attracting them. Describe the actual work instead.
Describe the first ninety days
What will this person have done by month three? It is the single most useful paragraph for a candidate deciding whether to apply, and it forces you to be clear about the role.
Common questions
Should I publish a salary range?
Yes. It improves application quality substantially and is legally required in a growing number of places.
How long should a job description be?
Under 600 words. Requirements as a short list, not fifteen bullets.
