The more detailed and specific the ad, the more credible the ad and therefore the greater the chance of gaining a quality response.

The more general and vague the ad, the more it sounds like a speculative attempt to gather resumes for sending ‘on spec’ or floating to a client.

No matter how basic this advice appears to be, you only have to take a look at a random sample of job ads, no matter where they appear, to see how infrequently this principle is applied.
