What job postings actually say vs. what they mean

Most job descriptions are written by committee — a recruiter template, a hiring manager's wish list, and a legal boilerplate layer, all merged into one document. The result is a mix of genuine requirements, aspirational preferences, and filler language that's been in every job posting since 2009.

The must-haves are what they'll screen resumes for. The nice-to-haves are the hiring manager's ideal candidate that rarely exists. The red flags are patterns that deserve a direct question in your interview. This tool surfaces all three so you can read the posting in under two minutes, not twenty.
