Hello! My name is Kyle James, and I’m the Founder of Urrly – a superhuman recruitment agency that combines amazing recruiters with the power of AI. As the Co-Founder of several companies prior to Urrly, I’ve written at least 500 job descriptions by hand and have hired thousands of employees. I’ve always considered myself a decent writer, but there’s no denying that manually writing job descriptions takes a ton of time. Every minute spent writing a job description makes the recruitment process less efficient.

In this article, I will show you a couple of fast and easy ways that great HR and Talent leaders, recruiters, and business owners use AI to write job descriptions in less than 5 minutes. And if you’re interested, I’ll build you and your company a custom ChatGPT Job Description Generator that will allow you to have job descriptions that convert applicants and stand out from your competitors in under 5 minutes.

Why You Should Never Write a Job Description for Your Company Again

Most job descriptions are poorly written. As the owner of an agency, I’ve found that clients often provide us with descriptions that either lack critical information or contain way too much unnecessary detail. Plus, many job descriptions aren’t written in a way that will entice the right applicants.

Even if you have a job description template that works decently well, why spend time manually editing it?

What if you had an AI agent that automatically knew your company’s benefits, the key selling points for roles you repeatedly hire for, and that was trained by the best copywriters in the world on how to convert candidates? Imagine generating a high-converting job description that excites candidates about your company – in just minutes!

If that sounds like something you’d love, keep reading; we’ve got a couple of great options for you.

How to Use ChatGPT to Write Your Job Description

Have a ChatGPT account? If not, go to chat.openai.com and create one for free. While there are perks to upgrading, such as access to more advanced models, you don’t need to upgrade unless you’re committed to consistently using AI to write job descriptions and streamline your work. Just take action!

If you’re using ChatGPT without a custom GPT, you’ll need a solid, reliable prompt. Great prompt engineering takes time, so you’ll want an outline to copy, paste, and customize. I’m providing one for you here. Simply copy and paste the prompt below into ChatGPT, customize it based on the role you’re hiring for, and let the AI take it from there.

ChatGPT Prompt for Writing a High-Converting Job Description

Instructions for Using the Prompt:

1. Copy the prompt provided below and paste it into a text editor like Google Docs, Word, or Notion, or directly into ChatGPT (you can use a free account at chat.openai.com).

3. Provide all essential information about the role, such as job title, location, responsibilities, qualifications, and any relevant company details. The more detailed you are, the better the AI can tailor the job description to your needs.

4. Ensure you include a link to your company website, so ChatGPT can pull relevant information to help sell your company to potential candidates.

5. Once customized, paste the final prompt into ChatGPT to generate your job description, or keep refining it in your text editor before using the AI tool.

6. Review the generated job description, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure all important details are included and in your company’s tone.
