The Jargon To Ditch This Year
Business jargon โ no one likes it, we all use it. Sometimes, itโs just an easy way to communicate and be heard.
In our work with hiring managers and job seekers, weโve heard a few good ones. We also know that yesterdayโs smart language is todayโs tired old cliche.
When youโre hoping to hire stellar candidates for top-tier roles, thereโs a danger in sliding into too much jargon โ particularly in job posts. Smart candidates see right through it.
According to Textio, a tool that helps HR teams come up with employer brand content, the stats donโt lie. Here are the phrases they say can single-handedly cause your job post to languish for longer:
๐ overachiever
๐ value-add
๐ driven results
๐ buy-in
๐ key metrics
๐ thought leader
๐ win-win
If any of these were on the tip of your tongue, ixnay them before you write that job description this year.
