Write a job description people want to read
Writes a clear job post that describes the actual work, the first-year goals and real requirements, without inflated wish lists.
Write a job description for a {{ROLE}} joining {{TEAM}}.
What this person must achieve in their first year: {{FIRST_YEAR_GOALS}}
Real must-have requirements: {{MUST_HAVES}}
Structure:
1. Two sentences on why this role exists now.
2. What you will do in the first 90 days and the first year, as concrete outcomes.
3. Must-haves (only the ones I listed).
4. Nice-to-haves, clearly marked as optional, maximum 4.
5. What we offer, and the salary range placeholder: [SALARY RANGE].
6. How to apply and what the process looks like.
Rules: plain language, use "you", no "rockstar" or "ninja", no years-of-experience requirements I did not give, gender-neutral wording.Example output
In your first 90 days you will: take over the weekly payroll run, fix the expense approval backlog, and document the month-end close. You must have: 2+ years running payroll for 50+ people.
How to use
Write FIRST_YEAR_GOALS as outcomes, like "launch the partner programme", not duties. Always fill in the real salary range; posts with ranges get more qualified applicants.
Why it works
Outcome-based job posts help candidates judge fit themselves. The rules act as guardrails against inflated requirements and biased wording that shrink the applicant pool.
