Benjamin Morone [00:00:00]:
And the thing is everyone can recognize GED, like it's not that hard and it's very lengthy, it's very verbose with with all what it says. And so, we realized that like okay we need to make job descriptions that cut through the noise And so really making a job description that is is magnetic. So not using, like, cliche language, not saying, like, we're looking for a data driven guru or wizard who can, like, do this. Right? Like, people see those, and they just, like, cringe and shut off. That's what we found and that's what my recruiter said. She was, like, I applied to your job because you didn't have anything like that. You don't have, like, these weird buzzwords and it was just very short and you told me what I needed to know, the skills that I needed, the time zone, salary, like those types of things we we display. And people can make a a quick judgment on if they're gonna apply or not.
