In Get on Board job postings, as a company recruiter, your title is the first relevance signal candidates use to decide whether to click and apply.
What a strong title looks like
- Use a standard role name: “Backend Developer”, “Product Designer”, or “Data Engineer”.
- Add a single seniority level: “Junior”, “Semi Senior”, “Senior”, or “Lead”. If you are unsure, review what the seniority levels mean.
- Keep it focused on one role. Avoid combining multiple roles in one title.
What to avoid
- Internal codes or team acronyms that candidates do not recognize.
- Creative titles like “Software Wizard” that can reduce search relevance.
- Titles that do not match the responsibilities and requirements. Those can be flagged during moderation.
If the role spans different seniorities or functions, publish separate jobs so each title matches a single scope.
If you need broader guidance beyond the title, review How to write a clear job posting.
