For Employers: How to Write a Job Post That Attracts the Right Candidates

The job post is the first conversation you have with your future employee. A vague post tends to attract applications that don't fit; a clear one helps the right people recognise themselves. A few extra minutes here are well spent.

Use a title people actually search for

Write the title a candidate would type: "Accountant (Tally, GST)", "Delivery Partner — Two-wheeler", "Front Office Executive". Avoid internal titles such as "Associate – Level 2" or vague ones like "Executive". Add the key skill or condition in brackets if it matters.

Say where, when and how much

Candidates decide in seconds based on three things:

1. Location — the area or locality, not only the city. For work from home or field jobs, say so clearly.
2. Timings — day or night shift, weekly off, and whether the hours are fixed or flexible.
3. Salary — a real range per month or per year. A salary range helps the right candidates decide quickly, and those outside your budget can skip the job. If you add incentives, say what they depend on.

Describe the work honestly

Write 4–6 responsibilities in plain words: what this person will do on a normal day. Then 3–5 real requirements — the ones you would not hire without. Mark "nice to have" items separately, so good candidates don't rule themselves out.

• Good: "Make 60–80 outbound calls a day to explain our plans to customers."
• Less useful: "Handle customer communication as required."

On Job Samadhan you can type the title and let Write with AI draft the description, responsibilities and skills — then edit it so it describes your job exactly.

Choose skills and experience carefully

Add the skills that matter most; candidates' skills are matched against them, and the best matches show at the top of your applicants. Set the experience range you will genuinely consider — many roles can be done well by freshers with the right attitude.

Ask one to three screening questions

Short questions save time on both sides: "Do you have a two-wheeler and a valid licence?", "Can you join within 15 days?", "Which accounting software have you used?" Every applicant answers them before applying.

Things never to put in a job post

• Any fee or deposit from the candidate — registration, training, uniform, kit or "security". It is not allowed on Job Samadhan and such posts are refused.
• Conditions that discriminate on religion, caste, gender, marital status or disability, unless the law allows a genuine requirement for the role.
• Personal phone numbers in the description — candidates apply and chat through Job Samadhan, and you see their contact details when they apply.

Build trust

Complete your company profile with a short description, your city and your logo, and verify your company with a GST or registration certificate. Candidates see the verified badge next to your name, and verified companies' jobs can go live without waiting for review.

Respond quickly

Good candidates may accept another offer quickly. Review new applicants regularly, move good ones to Shortlisted, schedule interviews from the applicant page, and mark candidates "Not selected" when they don't fit — so everyone knows where they stand.
