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 »
Job postings are the moment you invite someone in. In many hiring processes, the job posting ends up being a direct copy of the internal job description. But here’s the thing: what works for HR files doesn’t always work in public. Posting a job online should feel more like a friendly invite than a legal… Read more »
I’ve read some job postings that gave me the “ick”. Like, actual secondhand embarrassment. That’s the feeling we’re talking about today. I’ve seen some cringeworthy job postings that sound like a middle schooler trying to impress their cool cousin. Others just haven’t evolved since 1998. And the worst part? Candidates notice. They roll their eyes,… Read more »
You can organize JDs in Notion…until you can’t. We’ve talked to talent teams who manage hundreds of job descriptions. Some of them started with a Notion job description template. It seemed simple, easy, and free. And for a while, it worked. But then the version control issues started. Someone edited the template directly instead of… Read more »
Do job descriptions in your Neogov applicant tracking system look like Word docs from 1999? You’re not alone. Public sector teams across the country are dealing with the same thing, job ads that are technically correct, but visually and structurally stuck in the past. Even when the content is good, the format kills candidate interest… Read more »
Most people in talent acquisition don’t wake up thinking about FLSA classifications. But mislabeling a role as exempt or non-exempt? That can lead to lawsuits, fines, and frustrated employees. That’s why one of our clients added a custom “FLSA” column to their job description library. It’s been a game-changer for compliance and organization. What Are… Read more »
Kentucky law requires background checks for many types of employment. That means if you’re posting jobs in Kentucky, you’ve got legal requirements to follow. And if you’re hiring in multiple states, that’s a big compliance headache waiting to happen. Let’s break down what Kentucky expects from your job postings (and how you can make compliance… Read more »
Did you know? In some parts of Los Angeles, it’s actually illegal to post a job ad without stating that you’ll consider applicants with criminal records. Yeah, really. And if you’re a talent acquisition leader juggling dozens of roles across the U.S., that one little detail can lead to a whole lot of risk (and… Read more »
Have you ever tried collaborating on job descriptions and ended up in a permissions nightmare? Yeah, we’ve been there too. A solid job description management system isn’t just about creating JDs — it’s about controlling who can see, edit, and publish them without slowing the whole team down. Job Description Management System Roles (That Actually… Read more »
Have you ever seen a job post that felt like it was written by three different people? You probably have. That’s what happens when there’s no clear playbook for what should (and shouldn’t) go in a job description. It’s also why so many TA teams ask us some version of this: “How should a job… Read more »
One of the biggest healthcare companies in the U.S. had a problem: every time they pasted a job description into Taleo, the formatting blew up. Bullet points vanished. Fonts changed. Spacing went sideways. It was a hot mess. If you’ve ever tried copying a Word doc or Google Doc into Taleo, you probably know this… Read more »
