For low-level job positions, the job description and requirements document should contain about 100 to 150 words at most. For mid-level job positions the requirements and experience document text should contain about 150 to 200 words, maybe a little more in a few cases. For senior-level job positions or jobs requiring advanced degrees the job description and requirements text can reach 250 words or more depending on the complexity of the job position. Brevity is often helpful, but it should not leave out anything that would help us match the best candidate for the job!
