Its definitely a problem both ways. Companies hiring can't be sure their initial hook will return appropriate candidates. Then candidates looking for a suitable role can't really be sure what they are applying for will suit their skill set and desires.
Your classification of roles and candidates is certainly a much more complete approach for ensuring various parties get what they want, good work!
Communicating expectations and requirements is notoriously difficult to do textually - For most jobs it's pretty hard to accurately estimate what you'll be expected to do until you're actually there and doing it.
We all know how enormous the gulf is between advert and reality when recruiters are involve but it's astounding to see just how much that variance persists even when the company is doing the recruiting directly!
