Your job description (or "job spec") is your single most important piece of recruitment marketing.
A bad job description is a "shopping list" of impossible demands. It's boring, full of corporate jargon, and attracts hundreds of unqualified applicants.
A great job description sells the role. It speaks directly to your ideal candidate, excites them about your company's mission, and makes them want to apply.
The problem? Writing them is hard, and you have a business to run.
The Anatomy of a Great Job Description
Forget the old "Key Responsibilities" list. A modern job spec should include:
- >A Clear, Compelling Title: (e.g., "Senior Python Developer," not "Tech Ninja").
- >A "What's in it for You?" Summary: Start with what they get. "You'll be joining our new platform team, with a direct impact on..."
- >Clear Responsibilities: What will they actually do every day? Use active verbs.
- >Realistic Requirements: Separate the "Must-Haves" (e.g., 5+ years of experience) from the "Nice-to-Haves" (e.g., a specific certification). Don't create a "purple squirrel" wish list that no one can meet.
- >Salary & Benefits (Transparency Wins): State the salary range. In 2026, not stating the salary is the #1 reason candidates drop off. Be transparent.
- >"About Us" / The Culture: Why should they work for you? What's your mission?
