- Job descriptions have grown significantly longer, combining roles and adding extensive wish lists.
- AI is a major factor, with hiring managers using LLMs to generate lengthy, verbose descriptions.
- Long job descriptions act as barriers, especially for women who may not apply if they don't meet all qualifications.
- Skills-based hiring has expanded skills sections, but descriptions often lack substance and clarity.
- Authentic, concise job descriptions can be more effective for attracting the right candidates.
