I agree. They're pretty much all copy/paste of each other. They all offer "competitive salary", they all have "generous benefits". They all have a "great team to be part of", they are all "product people".
Sometimes, even after reading the posting you have no idea what the company does.
- v1l 5y agoWhere do you think the disconnect/problem is? Do you think it's possible to have realistic, good job postings? What would they need to look like?
- giantg2 5y agoI think the whole point is for HR/recruiters to make the posting unrealistic. I feel like most people aren't going to apply to jobs that say you're going to be working long hours, building boring stuff, and just going g to be generally squeezed until you're thrown away for a younger person who can be squeezed even more.
- fundamental 5y agoIt's totally possible to have good job postings. Just state a realistic salary range rather than "competitive", explicitly list benefits, and throw some quantifiable statements about work culture into the mix. It should be possible to know what a role is really about before the second interview, but honestly most companies do a awful job at describing their roles and so you have to drag it out of them during interviews.
