Why Person-First Job Descriptions Work
When you define the person before the role, you attract candidates who self-select based on character and culture fit, not just keywords on a resume.
Define the Person
Start with character traits, culture fit, and 90-day success, not a list of software skills.
Attract & Repel
A good job post filters out bad fits before they apply. The right people see themselves in it.
Copy & Post
Get a structured, professional posting you can paste directly into any job board or careers page.
Most employers write job descriptions that describe what they want done. The best employers describe who they want doing it.

Job descriptions: common questions
How do I write a job description that attracts the right people?
Define the person before the role. Start with the outcomes the hire must deliver and the character traits the job demands, then write the posting around those instead of a generic list of duties.
Why do most job descriptions fail?
They're wish lists of tasks and credentials that attract everyone and filter no one. A good posting repels the wrong people on purpose so the right ones self-select in.
Is the job description builder free?
Yes. Answer a few prompts and it generates a structured, professional job posting you can copy and use immediately, at no cost.
