Job Description Writer

An inclusive, outcome-focused job description that attracts qualified candidates and accurately represents the role.

Best For

  • A hiring manager at a Series B startup writing their first job req uses it to separate must-have from nice-to-have qualifications so the listing doesn't scare off qualified candidates
  • A recruiter revamping a generic template job post uses it to turn 'assist with customer support' into outcome-focused bullets that reflect what the role actually owns
  • A People Ops lead standardizing job descriptions across departments uses it with the company voice input to keep every posting on-brand while staying under 500 words

Prompt Template

Write a compelling job description for a [JOB_TITLE] role at [COMPANY_NAME], a [COMPANY_DESCRIPTION, e.g., Series B fintech startup / enterprise healthcare SaaS]. The role reports to [REPORTING_MANAGER_TITLE] and is [WORK_ARRANGEMENT, e.g., fully remote / hybrid in New York]. Structure the job description with these sections: (1) Role in one sentence, what this person will own, not a generic summary, (2) What you'll do, 5–7 bullet points of specific, outcome-focused responsibilities (avoid "assist with" and "support"), (3) What you'll bring, separate "Must Have" (3–5 items) from "Nice to Have" (2–3 items) qualifications, (4) What we offer, compensation range [SALARY_RANGE], benefits highlights [BENEFITS], and 2–3 culture differentiators that are actually true, not clichés. Use inclusive language, avoid jargon, and keep the total under 500 words. The tone should reflect the company's voice: [COMPANY_VOICE].

Pro Tip

Write the 'culture differentiators' input yourself with specifics that are actually true of the company, since the prompt is explicitly designed to reject cliches and will just echo back whatever generic phrase you feed it.
