The role details are only used to check the pay in your advert against what candidates are actually accepting. Leave them if they do not apply.
Your advert is graded in your browser. It is never uploaded, stored, or sent to us.
Paste an advert and press Grade this advert. Ten checks run against it, and every point lost names the phrase that lost it.
Methodology
The rules are fixed. That means the same advert always scores the same, so you can rewrite it and measure the change, and every point lost points at a specific phrase rather than an opinion. A language model would hand you a slightly different verdict every time you asked, which is useless for deciding whether a rewrite helped.
Ten checks run, weighted by how much each one costs you in practice. Stated pay, discriminatory wording and concrete detail carry the most weight, because those are the three that most reliably decide whether a strong engineer applies. Pay is checked against the 25th to 75th percentile of accepted offers from our own searches, the same dataset behind the Salary Checker.
The grader judges the advert, never a candidate. If you would rather start from a blank page, the Job Description and Scorecard Builder writes one calibrated to the current market, and the Cost of Vacancy calculator shows what the role is costing while you decide.
Common questions
Ten weighted checks on the text of the advert: whether pay is stated and how it compares to the market band, length, the number of requirements, years-of-experience demands, coded and discriminatory wording, filler, whether it speaks to the candidate or about the company, whether it names the concrete things a senior engineer decides on, and sentence length. Every point lost names the phrase that lost it.
No. The grading runs entirely in your browser and your advert is never uploaded, stored or sent to us, which is why you can safely paste a role you have not published yet. The page loads fonts and our usual site analytics, which record that the tool was used and the score it returned, but never the text you paste.
No, and that is deliberate. The rules are fixed, so the same advert always scores the same and you can measure a rewrite against the original. A language model would give you a different opinion every time you asked.
Work down the failures first, they are weighted hardest. If you would rather start again, the Job Description and Scorecard Builder writes one from scratch, calibrated to the current market.
