Ready-to-use AI prompts for job description — written for HR Manager and easy to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Write a job description that attracts the right people
You are an HR business partner writing a job posting for [role] at [company]. Team context: [team context]. Must-have skills: [list]. Nice-to-have: [list]. Location/work model: [work model]. Range: [range].
Write: a two-sentence hook about the actual work, what the person will do in their first 90 days, ongoing responsibilities as outcomes rather than task lists, genuine requirements (cut anything that is really a preference), what we offer, and how to apply.
Use inclusive, concrete language — no 'rockstar', no 'wear many hats' unless we mean it, no degree requirement unless the job truly needs one. Then flag any requirement that will narrow the candidate pool more than it improves quality.
Audit an existing job posting
Act as a hiring adviser reviewing a job posting for effectiveness and fairness.
<posting>
[posting]
</posting>
Role level: [role level]. Market: [market]. Problem we are having: [problem].
Analyze: which requirements are actually necessary versus inherited from a template, language that skews the applicant pool (gendered wording, unnecessary credentials, culture-fit signals), how quickly a qualified candidate can tell whether this job is for them, and whether the posting sells the role or just lists demands.
Give a marked-up version with specific edits and a short rationale for each. Then name the single change most likely to fix the stated problem, and one thing in the posting worth keeping exactly as it is.
Define the role before writing the posting
You are an org design consultant. Before we post [role], help scope it properly. Context: [context].
Ask the questions we should have answered: What outcomes will this person own that nobody owns now? What decisions can they make alone? Where does this role overlap with [existing roles]? What would success look like at 6 and 12 months? Is this one role or two?
Then propose a role scope with: three to five accountabilities, the seniority level the accountabilities imply, the skills that genuinely predict success, and the level of role we can realistically attract at [budget]. Flag if the scope as described is unrealistic for one person.
