After seeing yalls actual site, I feel a little bad about the tone of my reply, so here’s some some good faith feedback on how to better structure the JD (speaking from the demographic that you’re trying to target/also a founder w/a lot of experience hiring devs).
List the website on the JD.
While I’m not looking for a job, I know people who are, and my first instinct was to click on the listed link, saw your company name of which I immediately googled “accelerate ai” and saw some wack ass looking “AI black belt program” as the first result. Just now I did a bit more work to find your website:
https://www.accelerateai.agency/ I didn’t even see the LI post link until now when I scrolled up.
List budget range you have for the project.
Lots of devs have been burned before by sketchy founders. When I saw that first result on google + the lack of prospective pay information, I immediately wrote you off. Now seeing your actual website, you look less sketchy. But you do look like a small company, which isn’t an issue in itself, but again, fits the profile of companies that commonly screw over devs (particularly in a community as international as this one). So you want do everything you can in the JD to combat this feeling. If you’re trying to build up a list of potential devs for future projects, at minimum list a hourly rate range by skill level.
No one wants to fill out a form to get on a call and to get a lowball offer. I myself have hired via this test contract style quite a bit, but I always put a number up front, and try to overpay for the hours paid for the first contract to account for the uncertainty of a long term position. If you want to prorate by location, that will make some people mad but just be up front about it.
