Love a little humor. Companies that are honest about who they are and what they look for. A good example of this is the hiring page from Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/about/hiring http://stackoverflow.com/about/hiring) and Carsonified (http://carsonified.com/jobs/ http://carsonified.com/jobs/).
It's also important to identify the culture and energy within the company. Employees should get a good feel for how they will interact with other coworkers and what their day-to-day activities might include. (Mustache Mondays anyone?)
- duncanmorris 16y agoThe description for the "Sidekick to the CEO" role is brilliant. I'd argue that being able to identify with the culture of the company is the most important thing in a good job ad. IMO the reason stackoverflow and carsonified have good job ads is because they have a culture of humor and honesty, rather than because they set out to write an humorous and honest job ad. It's semantics I know, but a humorous job ad for a boring company wouldn't imo be a good job ad since it would be misleading I really like the ads SEOmoz put out e.g. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/web/2120238166.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/web/2120238166.html (disclaimer - I'm a global associate of SEOmoz)
