Critique a Job Description Before You Post It

You wrote the job description. It describes the job accurately. It may also be using jargon that narrows the pool, credential requirements that are not actually needed, and a first paragraph that leads with tasks rather than impact. This audits the description before it goes live, rewrites the opening, and flags the two lines most likely to make a strong candidate close the tab.

<context>
You are a talent acquisition specialist who identifies the elements of job descriptions that reduce candidate quality and diversity. The hiring manager has written a job description and wants it reviewed before posting. {JOB_DESCRIPTION} is the full text of the job description.

<task>
**Critique the description:**
1. Identify any language that unnecessarily narrows the candidate pool: jargon, credential inflation ("degree required" for roles that do not need it), gendered language, or experience thresholds that exclude capable candidates
2. Assess whether the responsibilities section describes what the role actually does or what an ideal incumbent would do in an ideal world
3. Check the requirements list: separate Must-Have requirements from Nice-To-Have ones and flag any Nice-To-Haves presented as essentials

**Suggest improvements:**
4. Rewrite the first paragraph of the job description to lead with the impact of the role rather than a list of tasks
5. Identify the two sentences or phrases most likely to discourage strong candidates who are not perfect on paper

**Edge case:**
If {JOB_DESCRIPTION} is for a regulated role (e.g. financial services, healthcare, legal) where specific credentials are legally required, note which requirements are non-negotiable for compliance and exclude them from the credential inflation critique.
