Arc Human Capital Featured in The Business Journals: Rethinking Job Postings in Today’s Market
We’re excited to share that Arc Human Capital LLC was recently featured in The Business Journals article, Striking out with job postings? Avoid these red flags, which explores why many companies struggle to attract top talent through their job postings. (read full article here)
In the piece, our Founder and Principal Consultant, Adam Calli, highlighted a growing issue in the hiring landscape: many job postings today are weighed down with regulatory jargon and vague buzzwords instead of giving candidates a clear picture of the role and the organization.
“So many organizations have adapted their current job postings to address legal issues in advance of possible or foreseeable problems — so much that a bulk of many postings today entail run-on regulatory jargon rather than the specifics of certain business roles and environments,” Adam Calli noted in the article.
At Arc Human Capital, we believe the best job descriptions do more than check compliance boxes—they communicate what it’s really like to work at your company. Candidates want clarity, authenticity, and a sense of connection. That’s why we encourage our clients to:
- Use honest language that avoids industry clichés.
- Highlight the real employee experience, whether through clear descriptions or even video storytelling.
- Simplify application processes, so candidates don’t abandon them out of frustration.
As Calli pointed out, most organizations don’t need an exhaustive application process to begin meaningful conversations with candidates. Often, all that’s required to start is a name, contact information, and a brief job history. The key is reducing friction, not adding it.
This recognition in The Business Journals reinforces our mission at Arc Human Capital: helping organizations design hiring practices that are both compliant and candidate-friendly, ensuring they can connect with top talent in an increasingly competitive market.
