Can we please establish a standard format for job postings? There are tonnes of websites/workspaces where you can track in-office roles but this is the only slack workspace where I can track remote roles with relative ease. Remote job boards are already quite limited. It would be nice if all postings follow a structured format. Every job post should mention if the role is remote or in-office, preferably within the first line of the posting.

Maybe use a slack bot?

I agree, and given the current context, also specify if it is Remote until COVID. The team could start off by following the Hacker news template

I think it’s a good idea. We may have some limitations with Slack — but essentially, we can make the #work-opportunities channel read-only (announcements only?) — not sure if that can be done. And then probably have an Airtable form for people to post jobs which then pushes to this channel. We had tried to do this in the past where only moderators would post to the channel - but I think the limitation with making only 1 channel read-only caused this to fail.

This is definitely a great suggestion. The trade-offs that I can think of is - ease of posting it on this slack group (with no rules) vs clarity on the job posting (using some structure). As Saurabh mentioned, we are limited by the limit on read-only so we will have to think creatively here. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

In a Slack community that I run, we have a recommended format for easy readability: 🖍️ Role:  💼 Experience:  🗺️ Location:  👥 Team Size:  💰 Salary Range:  🕘 Job Type:  🗣️ Contact:

We found 90% of the folks started to adopt it, once they noticed higher engagement on posts that did follow the format.
