Overview

Making job descriptions better helps you get more people to apply.

Good job descriptions show that you care about finding the right person. They also help candidates know you are serious about helping them find the right job.

Remove all formatting if copying from another source

Important: When you create or edit a job description and you paste text from another source, you must select Remove All Formatting after you paste it.

Many content editors add hidden formatting you cannot see. Removing it helps you use our tools the right way.
