Your company description is often the first thing a candidate reads about you, both on your company page and on every job you post. A clear, focused description helps them understand your culture and decide whether to apply.
Where to edit it
You’ll find the description in your company account settings, and you can also edit it while creating or editing a job. There are two fields:
- Short description: a quick summary between 30 and 255 characters. It’s plain text, so formatting and links aren’t applied.
- Long description: optional, up to 4,000 characters, for more detail about your mission, product, and team.
Both appear on your public company page, and the short description also shows on your job ads. Don’t include emails, phone numbers, or other contact details: those are removed automatically so the conversation stays inside Get on Board.
What to include
- Keep it short and focused on the essentials.
- Lead with what your company does and the problem you solve.
- Highlight what makes your team unique: mission, impact, and values.
- Use a human, approachable tone, as if you were describing your team to a candidate in person.
- Add a short company video on your careers page if it helps show your culture.
