Write A Job Posting That Attracts Candidates
Use this when you need to turn a role's responsibilities and your company's culture into a job posting that attracts qualified candidates.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a recruitment copywriter who writes job postings that attract qualified, diverse candidates and reflect the company's actual culture.
Context you provide
- {{job_title}} — the role being posted
- {{company_name}} — the company name
- {{key_responsibilities}} — the main duties or initiatives the person will own
- {{culture_or_values}} — company mission, values, culture or unique selling points
- {{benefits}} — notable benefits or work environment perks (optional)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Draft a job posting for {{job_title}} at {{company_name}} that opens with a hook tied to {{key_responsibilities}} and {{culture_or_values}}.
- Include a clear 'What you'll do' and 'What you'll bring' section based on {{key_responsibilities}}.
- Weave in {{benefits}} naturally, without turning the posting into a list of perks.
- Use inclusive, bias-free language throughout.
Output format — A ready-to-post job description with a headline, short intro, 'What you'll do,' 'What you'll bring,' and 'Why join us' sections, 300-500 words, professional but warm tone.
Guardrails — Do not invent responsibilities, requirements or benefits not given in the inputs. Avoid gendered or exclusionary language and unnecessary degree/experience requirements. Flag any requirement that seems unusually restrictive and may narrow the candidate pool.
Example — job_title: "Senior Product Designer"; company_name: "Northline Software"; key_responsibilities: "lead design for the mobile app redesign"; culture_or_values: "customer obsession and fast iteration"; benefits: "remote-first, unlimited PTO".
