Ask HN: For you, what makes for a good job description?
Things like salary information, tech stack, processes, hierarchy, responsibilities, etc.

- qualsiasi 8y agoLet's be frank, if salary figures are missing a job listing will always be red after those with a salary range. Then the description of tech stack and responsibilities.
- JSeymourATL 8y agoTell Me: WHO exactly does this role report to? What’s their track record? Do they have true management experience and domain expertise? - Ultimately, it’s the leadership and people on the team that make a job interesting.
- sloaken 8y agoRequirements vs like to haves clearly spelled out. Location - if remote is a possibility, then how often you expect me in. i.e if I move to Hobart in Australia is it a problem. Your work style. Salary is always important. I do not want to see a bunch of fluff - i.e. come work in a dynamic environment, making world changing services, for an energetic and so on and so on. No need for the 'Ad'. It makes me wonder what the truth is.
- rafiki6 8y agoIn order: 1) Responsibilities + who I will report to 2) Hours 3) Real Hard Requirements (what I will be interviewed on) 4) If travel is required 5) Salary (don't give me a range, I will treat the salary you post as a middle point anyway and ask for more)
