Episode Overview
If you want to know how to write a job description that actually attracts the right candidates, this episode is your blueprint.
I’ll unpack why some roles get flooded with qualified applicants while others barely get a glance. Spoiler: it’s not just the job itself—it’s how you talk about it. In this episode, I break down the strategy behind writing job descriptions that convert, treating them like the powerful marketing assets they are.
You’ll learn the seven must-have elements every effective job post should include, from crafting a compelling title and writing a strong intro, to using action-driven language and clearly separating must-haves from nice-to-haves.
I’ll also dig into why transparency about salary, location, and culture can massively boost your applicant pool.
