Strike a balance between too much detail and not enough. Every word counts! Too little description can be confusing. Many companies describe “flexible work” as a benefit, but it's not always clear whether they mean flexible in terms of hours, location, or time off – or whether they need the candidate to accommodate the employer’s needs (i.e., be on call). Too much detail can also take up valuable space that should be spent describing the specific job responsibilities. We’ve seen job posts where policies around perks are about 50% of the total word count. These details belong in your employee (or a candidate) handbook – not in the job post! © Tapwage Inc 2022 28
