When you post a job on Get on Board as a recruiter, the seniority level you choose shapes who applies. A posting that says “Senior” but describes junior-level scope—or offers a junior salary—will almost always attract off-target candidates.
How to adjust your posting for each level
- Define seniority by autonomy and scope, not only years of experience.
- Describe concrete day-to-day responsibilities for that level.
- Keep mandatory requirements focused on what is truly necessary.
- Check that your salary range matches the selected seniority.
Writing signals by level
- Junior: guided learning, scoped execution, close support.
- Semi-senior: partial autonomy, feature delivery, active collaboration.
- Senior: technical leadership, architecture decisions, mentoring, ownership.
You do not need inflated requirements to attract stronger profiles. You need clarity and consistency.
