Goal
Draft a job description that explains why the role exists, what success looks like, and what candidates genuinely need to do the work.
Success Criteria
- The role purpose and first-year outcomes are clear.
- Responsibilities are concrete and proportionate to the role level.
- Required qualifications are separated from preferences.
- Employment facts and claims are either supplied or clearly marked for confirmation.
Inputs
- Role title, level, team, manager, and location
- Business need and expected outcomes
- Core responsibilities and decision authority
- Required skills, experience, licenses, or certifications
- Employment type, schedule, compensation, and benefits if approved
- Hiring policy, voice, and accessibility commitments
Constraints
- Do not infer compensation, benefits, employment terms, or legal requirements.
- Exclude criteria unrelated to successful job performance.
- Avoid coded language, protected-characteristic preferences, and vague “culture fit.”
- Treat legal and regulatory language as requiring qualified review.
Instructions
- Define the role purpose and three to five measurable outcomes.
- Group responsibilities by the work performed, not by generic traits.
- Separate minimum requirements from learnable or preferred experience.
- Describe working relationships, authority, location, schedule, and employment terms using supplied facts.
- Explain the application process and any approved accessibility statement.
- Edit for clarity, inclusiveness, realistic scope, and consistent seniority.
Output
- Job title and role summary
- Expected outcomes
- Responsibilities
- Required and preferred qualifications
- Working arrangements and approved employment details
- Application process
- Items requiring HR or legal confirmation
Quality Check
Confirm every requirement is job-related, the scope matches the level, and a qualified candidate can understand the work and application process without decoding internal jargon.
Stop Rules
Ask HR to confirm missing employment terms. Do not make legal determinations, promise accommodations or compensation not supplied, or publish the description.
