    Improve Your Job Postings 

    You can improve your job postings with just a few small changes. These tweaks help you stand out and attract the right people. When you use smart tools like MokaHR, you get extra help to analyze and optimize every job posting for better results. 

    Engaging Job Titles 

    The job title is the first thing candidates see. If you want to improve your job postings, start here. Research shows that the best job titles follow a few simple rules: 

    1. Keep it short—two or three words work best. 

    2. Skip internal jargon or confusing terms. 

    3. Use both full words and common abbreviations. 

    4. Don’t add the location or use all caps. 

    5. Avoid stuffing benefits or requirements into the title. 

    When you follow these tips, you improve your job postings and make them more attractive to top talent. 

    Relevant Role Names 

    Choosing the right role name can make a big difference in your job posting’s success. Clear, industry-standard names help candidates find your job and decide if they are a good fit. Here’s how relevant role names help: 

    Evidence Point 

    Description 

    Visibility 

    Relevant job titles boost visibility on job boards and attract the right people. 

    Candidate Understanding 

    Clear titles help candidates quickly see if the job fits them. 

    Search Optimization 

    Using standard titles and keywords improves search results. 

    Tip: Highlight what makes your company unique and share growth opportunities in every job posting. Did you know that 81% of candidates are more likely to apply when you list benefits? One company even saved 305 hours by being clear about job challenges, which also reduced turnover.

    Key Responsibilities 

    Always list clear role responsibilities. This helps people know what they will do each day. Clear responsibilities set the right expectations. Candidates feel sure and ready for interviews. Unclear job descriptions can confuse people. This makes them drop out of the process. 

    Tip: Use short bullet points for each main task. Keep the language simple and direct. 

    Required Skills

    1. Communication
