Frequently asked questions
How long should a job description be?
Long enough to list the responsibilities, required and preferred skills, tools and logistics, usually 300 to 500 words.
Should I list a rate in the description?
If the client allows it, a range helps candidates self-select. Otherwise state it as “rate to be discussed” and confirm it before submitting.
