Writing a Job Description That Attracts the Right Candidates

How to write clear, focused job descriptions that bring in relevant applicants and make screening faster.

Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves

Long wish lists discourage strong candidates. List the few skills a person truly needs on day one, and move the rest to a nice-to-have section.

Describe the work, not just the title

Explain what the person will do in their first months, who they will work with and how success is measured. Candidates decide faster when they can picture the role.
