5 Reasons Candidates Don't Understand Your JD (and How to Fix It)
The goal of job descriptions is to draw in the best candidates, but what if they're actually driving people away? Qualified candidates may apply or scroll past a confusing JD without fully comprehending the position. Here are five potential misinterpretations of your JD and how BoostMyHiring.ai's AI video JDs can help:
1. An excessive amount of text and insufficient clarity
Candidates are overwhelmed by lengthy, jargon-filled paragraphs. Text fatigue causes disengagement, particularly in positions aimed at blue-collar or non-English speaking candidates.
✅ Solution: Present important information in an understandable, human-like video format by using AI avatars
.2. Important Information Is Missing
Many JDs omit important information like hardware requirements, shift timings, and salary. Candidates quit because they are unsure.
✅ Fix: The video JDs on BoostMyHiring explain everything up front, including compensation and working conditions.
3. Posting in only English restricts the audience.
Candidates with low literacy or those living in Tier 2 or Tier 3 cities find it difficult to comprehend.
✅ Fix: Your JD will be truly inclusive since AI avatar videos support regional languages.
4. Roles Seem Too General
Roles that use copy-paste templates come across as ambiguous and impersonal. Candidates are unable to envision their actual actions.
✅ Fix: Use icons, avatars, and brief explanations to visually represent daily responsibilities.
5. Text That Is Static Seems Antiquated
Candidates from Generation Z and Millennials anticipate engaging content, similar to the videos they watch on a daily basis.
✅ Solution: AI-driven video JDs communicate clearly, rapidly, and visually.
