A few notes on what changed and why: Title and location in the headline Indeed's algorithm weights these heavily for search ranking Mission hook up front LinkedIn and Indeed both show only the first ~300 characters; leading with impact grabs mission-aligned candidates immediately Skimmable headers and bullets job board readers scan before they read; wall-of-text formatting kills apply rates Benefits surfaced early and specifically compensation transparency improves apply rates significantly on Indeed "Preferred" vs. "Required" split reduces self-selection dropout from strong candidates who don't check every box Condensed org history moved to the bottom as supporting context rather than a barrier to the core pitch recblid 6f80a4crkvjxykqq4k6bfe5w3kdzul Read Less
