Write Job Descriptions That Attract Top Talent
Most job descriptions are either too vague or too long. This template gives you the right structure to attract qualified candidates without scaring them away with a 47-point requirements list.
Template Structure
- Job title - Clear, searchable title (no "Rockstar Ninja" nonsense)
- Company overview - 2-3 sentences about who you are and why it's great to work here
- Role summary - What this person will do and why the role matters
- Key responsibilities - 5-8 specific duties (start with action verbs)
- Required qualifications - Must-haves only (keep it to 4-6)
- Preferred qualifications - Nice-to-haves that won't filter out good candidates
- Benefits and perks - Salary range, PTO, remote policy, health benefits
- How to apply - Clear next steps
Pro Tips
- Include salary range - listings with salary get 30% more applicants
- Keep it under 700 words - longer descriptions have lower completion rates
- Use inclusive language - tools like Textio can check for bias
