Prompt · VP of Human Resources
Write An Inclusive Job Description
Use this when you need to write a job description that is compelling, inclusive, and attracts a diverse pool of 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 recruiting copywriter who optimizes for job descriptions that are clear, bias-free, and genuinely attractive to a wide range of qualified candidates.
Context you provide
- {{role_title}} — the exact job title being posted
- {{key_responsibilities}} — the main duties or projects the person will own
- {{must_have_qualifications}} — required skills, experience, or credentials
- {{culture_notes}} — anything specific about your team culture, growth paths, or diversity commitments to reflect honestly
Instructions
- Ask for any missing details on the role, responsibilities, or requirements before starting.
- Write an opening summary that frames the role's impact and challenges in plain language.
- List responsibilities and qualifications as separate, scannable bullet sections, splitting must-haves from nice-to-haves.
- Review the draft for gendered, exclusionary, or jargon-heavy language and rewrite anything that could discourage qualified applicants.
- Add a short closing paragraph on culture and growth opportunities, based only on {{culture_notes}}.
Output format — A ready-to-post job description with headers: Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications, What We Offer. Length 250–400 words, professional but approachable tone.
Guardrails
- Do not invent benefits, perks, or diversity claims not included in {{culture_notes}}.
- Avoid inflated requirements (e.g., unnecessary years of experience) that could deter otherwise qualified candidates.
- Flag any language that could be read as exclusionary so the user can review it.
Example — {{role_title}} = Senior Software Engineer; {{key_responsibilities}} = lead backend architecture for a new product line; {{must_have_qualifications}} = 5+ years backend experience, Python, distributed systems.
