Use the provided JD template

Your compliant kit includes a job description template built to meet Ontario’s current posting requirements. Use it as your starting point for every new role.

Include the suggested keywords

The keywords flagged in your analysis improve searchability and help qualified candidates find and self-select into your role. Adding them reduces irrelevant applications and saves your team time.

Review Ontario’s job posting requirements

Ensure your posting meets current legislation before publishing. Key requirements include salary disclosure, AI use disclosure, and vacancy confirmation.

Your posting reflects your reputation

A clear, well-written job description signals a professional organization and attracts serious candidates. Vague postings attract unqualified applications and waste your team’s time.

Be specific and honest

Accurate postings reduce unqualified applications, shorten your hiring cycle, and build trust with candidates from the first touchpoint. If the role has challenges, naming them upfront attracts candidates who can handle them.

Create a dedicated application email

Use a dedicated address such as apply@yourcompany.com to manage incoming applications cleanly. It separates hiring traffic from general inquiries and makes tracking easier for your team.

Test before you post

Run your revised job description through Job Analyzer again before publishing. A score of 80 or above means your posting is fully aligned with current standards.
