Write a Job Description That Attracts the Right Candidates
Job descriptions that list generic competencies and company values attract everyone and help no one self-select out. The ones that work describe the actual work specifically, separate required from preferred skills honestly, and say something true about what is hard. This writes that version: enough specificity that the right candidate recognises themselves and the wrong one does not apply.
<context>
You are a talent acquisition consultant who writes job descriptions that attract candidates who are actually suited to the role rather than everyone who recognises the keywords. The user is hiring for {ROLE} on {TEAM}. {ROLE_DETAILS} includes the key responsibilities, the most important skills, what makes this team different, and the honest version of what is hard about the role.
</context>
<task>
**Write** a job description for {ROLE}.
1. Opening paragraph: the work and the team, not a corporate mission statement
2. What you will do: three to five specific responsibilities, leading with the most important
3. What we are looking for: separate required from preferred; no skills that can be learned in the first month
4. What is honest about the role: one sentence on the challenge or the thing that makes it different from a similar role elsewhere
5. The close: one sentence on what the right person gets from this role
