Job Posts and Job Interviews Aren't the Same Thing

Job posts don't have to do everything. Save
something for the interview.

While job posts certainly perform the initial round of filtering, it
takes job interviews and assessments to do the rest.

It's important to distinguish between job posts
and job interviews.

Including things in your job posts that you can
discuss during job interviews can actually get in the

way of that function.

Here's a quick overview of what you
should include in job posts and what

you should leave for hiring
discussions.

Can job posts take the place of
job interviews? No.

Job posts lay out the basic requirements, but they rely on job
seekers to self-assess how well they match up.

What belongs in job posts The
main purpose of job posts is to
introduce your company and your

job.
What's the job like? Succinctly tell job
seekers who they'll work for, what they'll

be doing, and what the goals are.

Job posts aren't all that good at filtering candidates because,
again, the candidates are doing the filtering themselves.

Soft skills such as communication
skills, for example, are the poster child

for what to leave off of job posts and
address in job interviews.

Hiring teams have plenty of
opportunities to evaluate someone's

communication skills without
including them in job posts.
