What makes a startup job description work
Candidates for startup roles read a job description to answer three questions: what will I own, what will success look like in a year, and is this company for real. The builder is set up around those questions. It leads with outcomes for the first six months, keeps must-haves short, and puts salary, equity and stage in plain sight.
Posting a salary range is the single biggest lever. Many good candidates skip listings that say "competitive", and in several markets pay transparency is becoming a legal requirement.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a startup job description be?
Aim for 350 to 600 words. Enough to describe the first six months, the must-haves and the offer, short enough to read on a phone.
Should I include the salary range?
Yes. A clear range gets more relevant applicants and saves time on both sides. Add the equity range and vesting too if you offer options.
How many must-have requirements should I list?
Six or fewer. Every extra requirement filters out good candidates, and most long lists mix real must-haves with nice-to-haves.
Can Funded.club write and run the search for me?
Yes. A dedicated recruiter refines the job description with you, then sources, headhunts and screens candidates, with the first screened candidates within 7 days, for a fixed fee agreed upfront.
