You mention accurate description reducing the candidate pool, which I can agree with when it gets long.

Another big issue is the lack of precision in the description. When can you claim you know or are an expert in tech X? And then do that for 10 out of the 10 listed competencies/technologies? Who determines if I'm highly motivated? The specs they list are simply not realistic and ask for everything and the kitchen sink. Candidates have seen through this BS and just apply to anything that might possibly fit them. This means that companies get a ton of underqualified candidates. If they were just real and cut the BS, that could make the whole process more efficient. Dont even get me started in "5 years experience" in a tech that's only been out for 3 years or less.

Reading job posts is probably something I hate even more interviews. At least in interviews you can have a conversation and get some questions answered.

For me? Never. For my agency? As soon as I complete a single job well.
