Write job descriptions candidates actually read

Steps

1. 1Lead with impact: what will this person own and change in year one?
2. 2List must-haves ≤5; move nice-to-haves to a 'bonus' section
3. 3Strip coded language ('rockstar', 'aggressive'); run gender-decoder check
4. 4State salary range and process timeline upfront
5. 5Describe interview steps concretely so candidates can prepare
6. 6Test readability at grade 9 level; cut jargon

Common Pitfalls

• ▲Ten-year requirement lists filtering out high-potential candidates
• ▲'Culture fit' phrasing inviting affinity bias
