This article examines the connections between the number of words used in job posts, time-to-fill, and compensation. Research has shown that job postings with fewer words typically see a faster time-to-fill and higher rate of compensation, while job postings with more words take longer to fill and offer lower compensation. This data indicates that employers need to use clear language and focus on the most essential job requirements when creating job postings. Additionally, employers will need to offer competitive salaries that match the job requirements in order to fill positions quickly.
