In a rapidly evolving technology market, posting a job offer is no longer enough to attract the right IT candidates. A simple job description no longer has the impact it once did.
Today, IT professionals in Quebec and Canada are in high demand; they constantly see and receive job offers. They’re informed, selective, and quick to dismiss vague or poorly targeted postings.
At DELAN, we support companies facing these challenges. A poorly written job offer can harm your employer brand, slow down your hiring, and cause you to lose quality candidates.
🔎 Understanding the implications of a job offer
A job offer is much more than just text. It is the first point of contact with an IT candidate. In a few seconds, they will evaluate:
- The clarity of the position
- The relevance of the responsibilities
- The technologies mentioned
- The company culture
- The distinctive benefits
What if the posting is vague, generic, or poorly targeted? It risks being ignored. Worse, you might receive too many unqualified resumes, which will slow down your recruitment process.

❌ Common mistakes in IT job offers
Our team frequently sees the same mistakes in IT job postings, such as:
- A title that’s too vague or creative
- A generic introduction with no added value
- Tasks copied and pasted from previous positions, with no real connection to the role
- An unrealistic list of skills that blurs the line between must-haves and nice-to-haves
- A cold and impersonal tone that doesn’t reflect the company culture
- No mention of the work environment
The result? Top IT talent won’t even consider applying.
📉 Impact of a poorly targeted job offer on your recruitment
A poorly written job offer can lead to:
- A low conversion rate (views vs. applications)
- Positions that remain vacant for too long
- A loss of credibility with experienced IT candidates
- Exhaustion of your teams due to inefficient screening
- A weakened employer image, especially if your job offers circulate without interest
In such a competitive market, these mistakes can be very costly.
