The following is a suggested guidelines template for posting in Recruitment. These are suggestions to help project recruiters out. They are not rules. I would like to thank @FANGirl for her contributions on coming up with these guidelines. I would also like to thank @Lore for his input.

Synopsis & Goals
A brief description of the game, and plans for this game's future. This should include game genre and type (ex. "horror survival game", "medieval action-RPG", etc.), target audience (if applicable), introducing the main feature of the game that will set it apart from others, a sentence or so about the plot, and intent of the developer (ex. "make a game in a year", "sell game for profit", "permanent team to make studio after this game's release", etc.). Short and sweet but descriptive.

Plot and Characters
Describe the plot in just a little more detail and introduce the cast. Images of the cast are optional, but appreciated. This does not have to reflect the detail of the actual project thread, but rather provide a quick at-a-glance information dump.

Positions Available and Currently Filled
Unless restricted for good purpose, this section should identify the positions and number of people per position needed, as well as a very informative chart of what the recruits are expected to do. Include: Main tasks those seeking to fill the part are expected to do, years of experience needed (if applicable), what programs or tools will be used (if applicable), deadline expectations (will the team be lax or rigid?), compensation (if applicable) and terms of use in the works that will be created for the game, and any extra detail the project owner wants to squeeze in.

Concept Art/Screenshots/Demos/Other Information
This is just to let those looking for a project know that the lead is serious about creating the game.

If I may suggest that we modify the "Concept Art/Screenshots/Demos" title to "Concept Art/Screenshots/Demos/Other Information" so that people aren't left panicked and daunted by feeling that they need to have screenshots if they use the template.
