Write a Job Posting With AI

A good job posting attracts the right people. AI drafts the text quickly, and you add the real pay, hours and details.

Step by step

  1. Gather the facts. Write the duties, hours, pay, location and must-have skills.
  2. Ask for plain language. Avoid buzzwords and long lists of wishes.
  3. Include pay. Many places require a pay range and applicants appreciate it.
  4. Create interview questions. Ask for five questions that focus on real work situations.
  5. Review for fairness. Make sure nothing in the ad screens people out for reasons unrelated to the job.

What to expect

Expect a clear posting and a set of interview questions.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not list requirements that are not truly needed. Avoid discriminatory language.

A good next step

Check your state's requirements for pay and notices.

A prompt you can copy
