Types

Possible sections and their uses.

  • Additional

    Optional Nice-To-Have qualities a candidate might have.


  • Technologies

    Names of languages, libraries, frameworks, etc.
    used in the products the candidate will work with.


  • Services

    Names of services the development team uses.


  • Scope

    Description of what / how many projects the
    candidate will be working with, i.e. 8 websites.


  • Salary

    Set amount, range or offer of negotiation.


  • Benefits

    Additional pros the offer gives and aren't a given.


  • Tasks

    Description of the daily activities the job includes.


  • Company

    Description of who the company is and what they do.




Placement

In what order to arrange sections.


  • The most important part of a good developer
    facing offer is to place the Requirements first.

    If you are unqualified there is no point
    in continue reading the offer after all.


    Requirements  ›  Additional  ›  Technologies  ›  Services  ›  Scope


  • Place the Salary & Benefits next so the developer can
    evaluate if they consider the off being worth their time.


  • Next describe the Tasks, they are usually a given not very
    important as the developer already has a picture of the
    situation from the previously placed technical sections.


  • At the very end place information about the Company,
    while you may intent to present it to candidates, there
    usually is no need for it.

    Either a candidate knows the company and is
    taking the offer deliberately or they choose a
    company based on the presented job.

    Thus placing company related information
    first is either redundant or just in the way.
