How to write an effective Zendesk job post

An effective Zendesk job post should include:

• Scope of work: List all the deliverables you’ll need, from issue tracking to customer support.
• Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a more minor or extensive project.
• Background: If you prefer experience with specific industries, collaboration tools, or technologies, mention this here.
• Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
