Refactored #019: “Hiring That Still Doesn’t Suck”
On this episode of Refactored…
The verdict is in - the job listing is different from your job description.
The guys are far more humble than you. And each other.
Don’t use “ninja,” “rockstar,” “wizard,” et. al. in your job listing. Chris thinks it’s hyperbolic, disrespectful cancer; Frank thinks it’s a cheap, lazy cop-out.
Chris is highly emphatic that a job listing is an advertisement and should be treated as such.
Frank posits you should air some dirty laundry in your job listing. Chris agrees, but doesn’t want to go to Hawaii.
Chris refuses to negotiate, which spurs the guys to agree that most agency recruiters are terrible.
Frank wrote an entire article on why and how you should [Build Your Résumé for Speed]. Same core concepts apply to your job listings.
Frank and Chris agree, you should enumerate offered benefits in the job listing. This is elementary.
