Ask HN: Design a Better Job Description

Hey HN,

Similar to resumes, traditional job descriptions feel outdated. There is a lack of standardization in the industry, some mention compensation, some mention hard requirements, some are more flexible in requirements.

I'm curious if you were to build a job description standard, what types of fields would you want included? Some ideas of the top of my head:

- Compensation Bands

- If hard requirements are present, an explanation of why (i.e we don't have capacity for mentorship, so we are looking for X years of work experience)

- LinkedIn of the hiring manager

- LinkedIn of the existing team

- A detailed over of the interview process

Would love to know what others think!
