A ready-to-post JD grounded in what comparable companies actually ask for

I'm hiring a [role] at [company one-liner: what you do, team size, stage]. Before writing anything, scan the market: find [6] live postings for the same role at comparable companies — similar stage and domain — and note how they pitch the role, the must-have versus nice-to-have split, comp transparency, and anything that makes a posting compelling or off-putting. Then write my JD: an honest opening about the actual work, 4 to 6 responsibilities phrased as outcomes, requirements trimmed to what's truly required (cut the wish-list — every fake requirement costs candidates), a comp range [your range, or recommend one based on the scan], and how we work [remote policy, interview process]. Deliver it in chat: the JD ready to paste, plus a short list of what the market scan changed about your draft. No clichés — every 'rockstar' and 'fast-paced' gets cut.
