One person. Under 10 team members. More than 4,300 live job descriptions to fix. If that sounds impossible, you’re not alone. But one Sr. Talent Program Advisor at a major healthcare organization pulled it off (with help from Ongig). Meet the Team This wasn’t a massive team of writers or a marketing army. The core… Read more »
I missed HR Tech Vegas 2025 (scheduling conflicts), but I still got the scoop. I asked a few folks I trust in the TA and HR space to tell me what stood out. Here’s what they said hit hardest, what raised eyebrows, and what made them think twice. The Vibe Was High, But the Signal… Read more »
I’ve heard people say job description templates are just a “nice-to-have.” Kind of like branded mugs or office plants. They look good, but they don’t really do much. I disagree. Turns out, templates are the quiet hero of recruiting efficiency. They cut time, boost quality, and—most importantly—they save your team from drowning in job description… Read more »
Everywhere I look, teams are being asked to hit hiring goals with fewer people, fewer tools, and tighter budgets. So I ran a poll to see what’s really getting squeezed. It gave me a peek into the hiring trends of 2025 so far. What’s shifting, what’s sticking, and what’s quietly slipping through the cracks. This… Read more »
Imagine writing the perfect job description. Inclusive. Optimized. Tailored for the right audience. Then you post it…and the ideal candidate bounces. Your career site takes forever to load, doesn’t work on mobile, and looks like it was built in 2009. All that work you did with your JD tool? Wasted. The Problem: Most JD Software… Read more »
Managing job descriptions shouldn’t feel like a game of broken telephone. But if you’re using the wrong tools, it does. That’s why platforms like Mosh JD and Ongig exist. Both promise to help you get control of your job descriptions. But they take slightly different approaches. So, if you’re wondering which one’s better for your… Read more »
It started with a LinkedIn connection. Mitch Sullivan and I connected, and not long after, I spotted his new tool: Mitchs.ai. A job advert generator? You bet I was going to test it. I love trying new tools in the job description and job advert space, especially with all the AI buzz flying around. If… Read more »
This question comes up all the time: what even is a job advertisement? And it’s a fair one because most companies blur the line between job ads and job descriptions, like it’s no big deal. But if you’re trying to attract better candidates (or just write something worth reading), the difference matters. Job Ads vs…. Read more »
Most HR teams don’t choose Excel because it’s perfect. They choose it because it’s there. But what happens when a spreadsheet you set up “just to get started” becomes the only thing standing between you and legal compliance? The Excel Era: Simple, Then Slippery This story starts like many others. A fast-scaling consumer goods company… Read more »
I talk to a lot of HR and TA teams every week in sales demos, needs calls, and live Q&As. And I hear the same thing over and over again: “Our job description approval process is a mess.” One org had a 7-step JD review that needed city council sign-off. No joke. By the time… Read more »
They thought their job postings were fine. But their listings were quietly getting buried, and they had no idea why. This is what happens when job posting compliance slips through the cracks. It’s not just about legal exposure anymore. It’s about visibility, trust, and candidate experience. The Hidden Risks of Non-Compliant Job Posts One Ongig… Read more »
You don’t need a stopwatch to know you’re wasting time. If your team is still manually rewriting job descriptions, you’re already feeling it — the lag, the repetition, the click-here, copy-there rhythm that sucks time and energy out of the day. But what if you could *show* that time saved without launching a formal time… Read more »
Nothing says “surprise!” like legal showing up with a job posting disclaimer request. It always feels last-minute, doesn’t it? But when there’s an acquisition, investment, or structural change — suddenly, every job needs a new legal note. Everywhere. Fast. This exact thing came up on a client call last week. They told us their company… Read more »
I’ve read 1,000s of bad job postings. But this one stopped me cold: “We don’t believe in work-life balance; this job is your life.” If your gut says “yikes,” you’re not alone. That line (and plenty of others like it) is exactly why the OFCCP (Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs) exists. And it’s also… Read more »
How busy are recruiters? They’re not lazy. They’re drowning. I’ve heard this exact phrase from more than one recruiter: “I don’t have time to learn something new right now. I just need to get this job posted.” It came up again in a recent client call with a TA leader we’ve worked with for a… Read more »
