Is it better to publish several similar jobs or one broader role?

When you hire on Get on Board, deciding whether to split similar roles into separate postings or combine them into one affects applicant relevance, your team’s workload, and how you use your active job slots.

Publish separate jobs when these change

1. Seniority level.
2. Core responsibilities.
3. Required stack or specialization.
4. Hiring manager or evaluation flow.

If those elements are different, separate postings usually produce clearer applications.

Keep one broader posting when this is true

Use a single posting only if responsibilities and requirements are materially the same and candidates will go through the same process.

Operational trade-offs to evaluate

• Separate postings improve targeting but consume more active slots.
• One broader posting simplifies management but can increase off-target applications.
• Clear tags and requirements help either strategy perform better.
• If this decision depends on available slot capacity, check plan limits and options at /pricing.
