Job description template
HR & CareerUpdated: November 7, 2026
A good job description doesn't attract everyone. It helps the right people say yes and the wrong people self-select out. It should answer two questions fast: what is this job, and is it for me?

Tips
- Use the title people search for. "Marketing Manager", not "Growth Wizard".
- Keep must-haves short. Long requirement lists discourage capable people from applying.
- Include a pay range. Many places now require it by law, and it saves everyone time.
- Avoid exclusionary language. Age, gender or other criteria unrelated to the job are unfair and can be unlawful.
- Explain the process. Candidates want to know what happens next and when.
