Are your job descriptions and ad postings lacking in response?

If you want to attract smart talent, you should consider eliminating the jargon in your job postings. No one is attracted to a company advertising for “unicorns, rock stars, jedis, ninjas, wizards or gurus” anymore.

There are other phrases that are equally tired, although they may seem hard to replace…

Consider the “dynamic self-starter” or the “passionate superstar with a proven track record.” Then there’s the “detail-oriented ninja with good communication skills.”

The problem with many of these buzzwords and phrases is that they’ve lost all meaning.

What words are you so sick of hearing in job postings? Things so overuse they’ve simply lost their meaning?
