A good JD does two jobs: it helps candidates self-select before they apply, and it sets clear expectations once someone's hired. Every JD should cover the same five things — only the specifics change by role.
What every JD should include
- Role title and where it sits in the team/reporting line
- 3-5 core responsibilities, not an exhaustive task list
- Required skills and experience, separated from "nice to have"
- What success looks like in the first 90 days
- Compensation range and work location/mode, if you're willing to disclose it upfront
