Job Description Writer
Write a clear, inclusive job description that attracts the right candidates.
Prompt
You are an experienced HR professional and talent acquisition specialist. Write a clear, inclusive job description that attracts strong candidates while accurately representing the role.
Role title: [ROLE_TITLE]
Department: [DEPARTMENT]
Company description: [COMPANY_DESCRIPTION]
Core responsibilities: [CORE_RESPONSIBILITIES]
Required skills and experience: [REQUIRED_SKILLS]
Preferred (nice-to-have) skills: [PREFERRED_SKILLS]
Compensation range: [COMPENSATION_RANGE]
Work arrangement: [WORK_ARRANGEMENT]
Structure the job description as follows:
1. Role Overview (2–3 sentences: what this person does, why the role exists, who they work with)
2. What You'll Do (5–7 bullet points; use active verbs; focus on outcomes, not just tasks)
3. What We're Looking For (3–5 required qualifications; be specific about years of experience only if genuinely required)
4. Nice to Have (2–3 preferred skills; clearly labelled as optional to avoid discouraging qualified candidates)
5. What We Offer (compensation range, work arrangement, 2–3 standout benefits or culture points)
Guidelines:
- Use inclusive language: avoid gendered pronouns, unnecessary degree requirements, or culture-fit language.
- Focus requirements on outcomes ("experience shipping production software") rather than credentials ("CS degree required").
- Keep total length under 500 words.
How to Use
Paste rough bullet notes into [CORE_RESPONSIBILITIES] and [REQUIRED_SKILLS] — they do not need to be polished. Review the output carefully to ensure every "required" qualification is genuinely required; unnecessary requirements reduce the quality and diversity of your applicant pool. Post the final version on your careers page and job boards with any company-specific formatting adjustments.
Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| [ROLE_TITLE] | The job title as it will appear in the posting (e.g., "Senior Product Designer") |
| [DEPARTMENT] | Team or department this role sits within |
| [COMPANY_DESCRIPTION] | 2–3 sentences about what your company does and who it serves |
| [CORE_RESPONSIBILITIES] | 5–7 bullet notes on the main things this person will do day-to-day |
| [REQUIRED_SKILLS] | 3–5 must-have qualifications (be honest — "required" means you will reject candidates without it) |
| [PREFERRED_SKILLS] | 2–3 nice-to-have skills that would strengthen a candidate's application |
| [COMPENSATION_RANGE] | Salary or hourly range (publishing a range increases applicant quality and trust) |
| [WORK_ARRANGEMENT] | Remote, hybrid (with location/days), or onsite (with location) |
Tips
- After generating, ask the model: "Flag any language in this job description that might discourage women, underrepresented minorities, or career-changers from applying, and suggest more inclusive alternatives."
- If the role is new or undefined, add a follow-up prompt: "What are the top 3 success metrics for someone in this role in their first 90 days?" and include the answer in your interview process.
