Job Advertising is Broken

Recruiting companies should really put the names of the company they are assisting with hiring. Because of the unfortunate habit they have of writing a shopping list — with every possible qualification they wish they could get in a hire — and other wise vague job descriptions, it can get hard to tell the job ads apart. This is exacerbated by having the same job posted on multiple job sites.

At least by knowing the companies, applicants can tell the jobs apart. More over, it gives them a chance to evaluate the company — word of mouth, or a bit of googling goes a long way — and decide if they really want to apply.

Personally I’m dubious about applying for a job when I don’t even know who wants to hire me.
