❌ Why Most Startup JDs Don’t Work

“We’re looking for a ninja engineer who thrives in ambiguity…”

Sound familiar? Most JDs either attract the wrong people — or repel the right ones.

What works instead:

✅ Clear outcomes, tracked

✅ Realistic expectations, no bs

✅ Contextual, stage-aware messaging and counter sell

✅ Startup-native tone that avoids fluff and confusion

📐 The JD Framework That Converts

We recommend this simple, high-conversion layout:

1. About Us – 1–2 sentence mission and traction snapshot
2. Why This Role Now – Startup stage, goals, and urgency
3. What You’ll Do – 5–7 bullet points focused on outcomes, not tasks
4. What You’ll Bring – Traits, experience, capabilities
5. Nice to Haves – Optional but honest
6. Comp + Location – Be direct, use ranges when possible
7. How to Apply / Next Steps
