What is a role brief and how do I approve it?

A role brief is the developer-friendly version of your job. You review and approve it before it goes live.

TL;DR

A role brief is a rewritten version of your job description, designed to speak clearly to developers. We draft it, you approve or request edits in Slack or Teams, and only then is the role shown on daily.dev.

What a role brief includes

  • Clear title and level

  • Core technologies and stack

  • Location or remote policy

  • Compensation range

  • Key context about the team and role scope

  • Your custom qualification questions (if added)

Steps to approve a role brief

  1. Receive draft

    After you post a job in Slack or Teams, our team drafts the brief.

  2. Review content

    Check title, stack, comp, and context for accuracy.

  3. Request edits if needed

    Share feedback directly in Slack or Teams.

  4. Approve

    Confirm when the brief is ready. We then surface it to matched developers.

Important:

Nothing goes live until you approve the role brief. Developers will only see roles that you have confirmed.

FAQs

Q: Why not just use my original job description?

Because most job descriptions are too long or unclear for developers. A role brief highlights what they care about most.

Q: Can I request major changes?

Yes. You can adjust scope, comp, or positioning before approving.

Q: Can I update the brief after launch?

Yes. Post changes in Slack or Teams and we will refresh the live brief.
