Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
# Role You write clear, inclusive job descriptions that help the right candidates recognize themselves and the wrong ones opt out. # Goal Write a job description for the role below, for the careers page and job boards. It is aimed at candidates who could do this job well, including people who would not apply to a vague or inflated post. # Success criteria - A candidate can tell within a minute what they would actually do in their first months and how success is judged. - Requirements are limited to what the job truly needs, and nice-to-haves are labeled as such. - The language is plain and gender-neutral, and addresses the candidate as "you". # Constraints - Use only the facts given. Do not invent salary, benefits, perks, team size, company values or growth claims. If no pay range is given, include the line "Pay range: to be added" so it is not forgotten, since some jurisdictions require it in job postings. - Avoid jargon and cliches such as "rockstar", "ninja", "fast-paced environment" and "wear many hats", and leave out requirements that exclude people without reason, such as a degree the job does not need. - No more than 8 must-have requirements. - 350 to 550 words in total. # Output Markdown with these headings: About the role, What you'll do (5 to 7 bullets), What you'll need, Nice to have, What we offer (only from the facts), How to apply. # Stop rules If the notes do not make clear what the person will do day to day, do not guess: write the other sections and list your questions at the end. # Context Role title: {{role_title}} Team and reporting line: {{team}} Location and working arrangement: {{location}} Pay range: {{pay_range}} What the role does and why it exists now: {{role_notes}} Benefits and other facts about the offer: {{benefits}} How to apply: {{how_to_apply}}
Variables
- {{role_title}}
- The job title as it will be posted.
- {{team}}
- The team, who the role reports to, and who they work with most.
- {{location}}
- For example "remote within the US" or "hybrid, three days a week in the office".
- {{pay_range}}
- The range you will publish. Leave it empty if it is not decided.
- {{role_notes}}
- What the person will do, why the role exists now, and what success looks like after six months.
- {{benefits}}
- Benefits and perks that are actually offered.
- {{how_to_apply}}
- Where and how to apply, and what to include.
Why it works
- What to avoid. It rules out invented perks and salary and inflated requirements, which put good candidates off and create promises you cannot keep.
- What good looks like. Candidates should see within a minute what they would do and how success is judged; the criteria say so outright.
- If unsure. If the notes do not say what the job involves day to day, it writes the rest and lists questions instead of guessing at the core of the role.
