As far as I'm concerned, they fall into two categories - absolutely bonkers jobs that simply shouldn't exist OR silly attempts to jazz up job titles so that they sound more impressive.
Recruiter Pro Tip (For Hiring Managers) On a serious note... You may have heard the good old myth that, by being creative with your job vacancy, you're guaranteed to attract more, great staff members. This is just not the case. If anything, you're sabotaging your own recruitment process, because NO ONE will be typing 'marketing genius,' 'inspiration officer' or 'dynamic dynamo' jobs into Google, Indeed or any of the other job boards, for that matter.

Stop trying to be overly creative; you should be proud of what you actually do.
