Hire the best Songwriters

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample songwriter job post titles:

• Need a short song created for my pet goldfish
• Technology company needs catchy jingle for new product launch
• Recording artist needs new songs for upcoming album

Project description

An effective songwriter job post should include: 

• Scope of work: From lyric writing to melody creation, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
• Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
• Background: If you prefer experience with certain genres, purposes, or styles, mention this here. 
• Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
