On: What a Developer Job Posting Should Look Like

[forrestthewoods]

I skimmed the page five times before I ever saw the words "Software Developer." Everything about that page screams TLDR.

The information contained is informative but it doesn't even have a decent summary.

The words 'Software Developer' are in 260% type at the top of the page.

If they're looking to weed out unsuitable candidates, TLDR might be a feature rather than a bug.

But that 260% type is also the same color as the top bar so it blends in. That's just poor design.

This is the internet, people don't read walls of text. If that's a weed out feature then you're doing it wrong.

It's Big, black text on a white background. It ain't exactly camouflaged.
