How to Write a Job Brief Architects Actually Respond To

Generic job descriptions like "Looking for an architect with 5 years experience" fail to attract premium design talent. To get high-intent applications, your JD must include: 1. Project Typology: Are they working on luxury residential, hospitality, or commercial malls? 2. Production Stack: Specify the exact software (e.g., Revit LOD 300, Rhino + Grasshopper). 3. Actual Responsibilities: Tell them if they will lead site coordinators, release GFC drawings, or handle client boards. 4. Clear Location & Work Rhythm (on-site, hybrid, remote).
