A Job Posting for the Visually Oriented

If you’re looking for a non-traditional job, perhaps you should find a non-traditional ad.

We liked this striking, visual announcement for a Web design position at Duolingo, a technology company ambitiously translating current Web sites into a variety of languages.

For sheer clarity and inventiveness, Duolingo’s ad blows standard Craigslist and Monster.com listings out of the water. Qualifications and position details are presented in a diagram, attracting visual thinkers and designers from the get-go and helping weeding out those who need not apply.

Not afraid to playfully direct unqualified readers of the interesting post to ‘go work for a large corporation,’ the ad exhibits a well defined but relaxed company culture while maintaining a serious tone towards an available position.

We’d like to know what you think: Would you apply for this job? Do you think this type of ad would attract a more qualified pool of applicants?
