Job titles and descriptions serve as the first windows into the job. A well-crafted job description allows applicants to envision their impact, assess alignment with their skills, and decide whether to apply. Job descriptions must be deliberate, each word true to the nature of the job, and written with purpose. Forgoing the purpose for effect will attract the wrong candidates while alienating others.
