The prompt
Write a job description. Role: role Outcomes in 6 and 12 months: outcomes Company: company Sections: the role in 2 sentences; what you will achieve (the outcomes, concrete); how we work; what you bring (at most 6 must-haves, each tied to an outcome); nice to haves (at most 3); compensation and benefits; how to apply and what the process looks like. Plain, inclusive language. No "rockstar", no "fast-paced environment", no inflated requirement lists. Before you answer, check your draft against every instruction above and fix anything that misses.
Why it works
- Outcome-based roles attract people who want to own results.
- Caps requirements, which widens the pool.
- States the process and pay, which candidates want most.
