Templates for Job Descriptions: The Quiet Hero of Recruiting Efficiency

Imagine writing the perfect job description. Inclusive. Optimized. Tailored for the right audience. Then you post it…and the ideal candidate bounces.

How to Optimize Job Descriptions for Social Media Success
Many hiring teams treat social media like a copy-paste dumping ground. But job descriptions written for your website or applicant tracking system (ATS) rarely perform well on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok. (The format is different. The audience is different. And the attention span varies on each one.) If you’re sharing job content without… Read more »
What Is a Job Advertisement (And How’s It Different From a Job Description?)
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.

Managing Job Profiles in Excel Nearly Broke This South African Team
Most HR teams don’t choose Excel because it’s perfect. They choose it because it’s there.

The Excel Era: Simple, Then Slippery This story starts like many others. A fast-scaling consumer goods company… Read more »
Is Your Job Description Approval Process Slowing You Down?
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 »

How to Measure Time Saved with Job Posting Automation (Even Without a Time Study)
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.

Why Your Job Posting Might Not Be OFCCP Compliant (and How to Fix It)
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.
