Your Job Descriptions Might Be Driving Talent Away – Here’s How to Fix It

When it comes to attracting top talent, your job description is your first impression – and in today’s competitive hiring landscape, you can’t afford to miss the mark.

At Info Way Solutions, we’ve reviewed thousands of JDs and noticed a trend: the best candidates are skipping over roles with outdated, generic, or overly demanding descriptions.

Let’s fix that.

👎 What to Stop Doing:

• Using vague titles like “Rockstar Developer” or “Ninja Coder”

• Listing unrealistic requirements (Do they really need 10 years of experience in a tool that's 4 years old?)

• Writing long blocks of text with no formatting

• Focusing only on company needs and ignoring candidate value

✅ What to Start Doing:

• Use clear, searchable job titles candidates are actually typing in

• Highlight growth opportunities, impact areas, and team culture

• Be honest but positive about the role’s challenges

• Use bullet points for easy scanning

• Mention salary ranges, benefits, remote options—transparency builds trust

📌 Pro Tip from Our Hiring Experts:

“Think of your job description as a marketing ad—you're not just hiring, you're selling a future.”
