Here at Mighty Acorn, we've learned a lot from A/B testing job descriptions and have reviewed hundreds of engineering JDs at this point. We wrote this guide to capture our most common recommendations for each aspect of the job listing.

Structure of the job description

<aside> 💡 Your job description should be content-rich but easy to skim, so keep paragraphs short and use headings and bullets when you can.

Your job description should cater to different types of job seekers. Some candidates use the "spray and pray" approach of submitting their resume to any post that looks remotely interesting, while others take the "quality over quantity" approach by thoroughly researching every company they consider.

There isn't one ideal format to use, but these are the sections we recommend including:

About {company_name}
