We may earn a commission if you hire through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. How we choose picks.

Job description writers turn a role into a clear, attractive job post: responsibilities, requirements, benefits and what makes your company a good place to work. A good description helps the right people apply and the wrong people self-select out. Problems start when posts list too many requirements, use unclear jargon or exclude candidates without reason. This guide helps you get job descriptions that attract strong, diverse applicants.

We are finalizing our shortlist for this service. Until then, the guide below walks you through how to evaluate sellers yourself.

What a good job description package includes

Check that the offer clearly states:

Number of roles.
Structure: summary, duties, skills, offer.
Inclusive language review.
Formatting for job boards.
Template for future roles.
Revisions.
Delivery time.

Ask the writer to separate must-have and nice-to-have skills. Long lists of requirements discourage good candidates who meet most but not all of them.

Look at job posts the writer has created and imagine reading them as a candidate. Can you understand the role, the team and the expectations within a minute? Clear, honest and specific posts attract stronger applicants than long lists of buzzwords and requirements.

How to brief a job description writer

The role and why it exists.
Main tasks in a typical week.
Required skills and experience.
Team and manager.
Location, hours and pay.
Benefits and culture.
Where it will be posted.

Describe what success looks like after a few months in the role. It gives candidates a realistic picture and helps the writer focus on what matters rather than generic duties.

Be honest about challenges. Mentioning a fast pace, travel or on-call duties up front saves time for everyone and leads to better long-term hires.

Think about where candidates will read the post. Most job seekers browse on phones, so short paragraphs, clear headings and bullet lists matter. Ask the writer to check how the description looks on the job boards you use, where formatting can change.

What drives the price

number of roles
seniority and complexity
research on the company
inclusive language review
templates
rush delivery

A single standard role costs less than a set of senior roles with research, a template and employer branding.

Red flags

Long lists of unnecessary requirements.
Jargon or internal terms.
Biased or exclusionary language.
Copied descriptions from other companies.
No mention of pay or location details.

Check local employment rules for job ads, such as pay transparency and anti-discrimination requirements, before publishing.

For hiring documents, see our proofreading guide. For your company profile, read our LinkedIn profile guide and brand voice guide.

Track how each post performs: the number of applicants, how many meet the key requirements and where they found the job. Sharing these results with the writer lets you refine wording and structure for the next role, improving your hiring over time.

Include a short note on the hiring process: the steps, how long it usually takes and when candidates can expect to hear back. Transparency builds trust with applicants and reduces follow-up emails, and it reflects well on your company even for people who are not selected.
