These guidelines are primarily aimed at recruiters and other WoCl members posting a job in their official capacity. To ensure that #jobs postings are useful for members, posts that do not meet these requirements may be flagged and removed by the channel moderators. We’ll always let you know why your post was flagged, and give you an opportunity to update it.
Many community members share opportunities in an unofficial capacity in #jobs, #gigs, and other channels. That’s awesome! If you are not affiliated with the company, we encourage you to refer to these guidelines when you pass along a job to help create a more useful experience for everyone.
Basic principles
- Posts in #jobs should include the information candidates need to rule out a position (title, company, location, compensation). This saves time for recruiters and job seekers!
- Keep posts succinct and skimmable. Interested candidates will go to your full job posting to get all the details. Bullet points help make relevant details easier to skim.
- Make next steps obvious. If folks should apply via your website, say so. If you want people to follow up directly with you, say so. This also saves everyone time.
What to include
✅ Minimum requirements
We require that all posts from an official representative of a company, such as a recruiter or current employee who is involved in the hiring process, include the following information:
- Role/title (with link to official job posting, if applicable)
- Company/organization (with link to website, if applicable)
- Location (including onsite, hybrid, or remote status), and any timezone or visa sponsorship restrictions

🏆 Optional, but great to include
- Most restrictive job requirement (e.g. PhD in X, 7years of experience in Y)
- Your connection to the hiring company
- Employment type (full time, part time, contract, internship, etc.)
- Length of engagement
