  • Use the title candidates search for. “Model” is the clearest; alternates include Fashion Model, Commercial Model, Fit Model.
  • Show the pay range. Postings with pay get more qualified applicants, and a growing number of states and cities require pay ranges in job postings.
  • Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves. Long requirement lists discourage qualified candidates, especially career changers.
  • Describe a real day. Borrow from our day in the life of a model so applicants self-select accurately.
