Here's what a start-up ad for a programmers should look like: * mycomapny.com [link to google maps] * tech skill required: x, y, z * [full-time || contract] && [local || remote] * growth or biz model [link to mycompany.com/biz_model] * investment [link to mycompany.com/investment] * salary range $x to $y depending on experience * benefits - health care, etc [link to mystartup.com/employee/benefits] * employee rules [link to meycompany.com/employee/handbook] * stock options [link to mycompany/com/employee/options] If you want more high quality applicants, provide these details up front...Transparency Rules!!! Skip the multi-paragraph fluff. You don't want to read it in the resumes, and job searchers don't want to read through it the job ads. Also, skip the puzzles. Puzzles limit your pipeline to those that have loads of time on their hands to solve your captcha. Do you want an applicant that has loads of time on their hands or the applicant that has the skills and right attitude?
