The details every craft posting should include

  • Trade and exact scope of work.
  • Location and whether it is local or travel-based.
  • Pay rate, overtime expectations, and per diem amount.
  • Duration, schedule, and target start date.
  • Required certifications, safety cards, and site requirements.
  • Crew size, reporting structure, and key job deliverables.

Bad vs better examples

  2. 2Better: Need 12 journeyman pipefitters for a 6-week refinery outage in Lake Charles, LA. $36/hr, 7x12s, $140/day per diem, start date May 20, OSHA 10 and refinery experience required.

Why this works

Workers who travel make fast decisions. If the post answers the first-round questions clearly, the applicant pool filters itself better and your team spends less time on calls that go nowhere.
