“Every time I post a job I get a pile of people who can't do it, or nobody at all.”

What you'll need
- Your business profile. Don't have one? Start here →
- What the role pays and its exact days and hours
- A past job post, if you have one (even one that flopped)
- Where your applications come in: Indeed, ZipRecruiter, another job board, email or a form (an export or paste works)
- Your current pay rates for similar roles
What you'll get
- A job post in your voice with the pay and schedule in the first two lines
- Three knockout screening questions, one for each must-have
- A short version for a sign or local group, and a posting plan
- Reply drafts: invite to the next step, a kind no, and "we've filled it"
- A weekly check while the post is live, with one fix when the wrong people apply
How it works
Run it whenever a role opens. It turns what the job really involves into a post that leads with pay and schedule, keeps must-haves to three and makes each one a screening question, and says honestly who won't fit, then checks the wording and flags what to confirm with a professional. While the post is live it tallies your applicants against those questions each week, and if the wrong people keep coming, it asks you why and tightens the post to screen them out. Nothing is posted or sent until you approve it.
