Generate Job Descriptions

This skill creates compelling, comprehensive, legally compliant job descriptions following a proven structure: title, department, location, employment type, and experience level; a company overview; a role overview; 8-12 action-oriented responsibility bullets; required and preferred qualifications; a compensation and benefits section; and clear application instructions. It applies inclusive-language rules (replacing gendered pronouns and biased qualifiers like "rockstar", "ninja", or "culture fit", and writing "you will" instead of "the candidate will"), clarity rules (8th-grade reading level, bullet points over dense paragraphs, sentences under 20 words, defined jargon), and legal-compliance guardrails (no age ranges, no appearance, marital-status, or family-planning requirements, a mandatory equal-opportunity statement, and salary-transparency compliance where applicable).

It includes a full software engineer job description example (React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL responsibilities, 80%+ test coverage with Jest and Cypress, CI/CD participation, and cloud/Docker/Kubernetes preferred qualifications), compensation-package guidance (market-rate research via Glassdoor, PayScale, or Radford surveys, salary ranges required in CA, CO, NY, and WA, and total-compensation framing of base plus bonus plus equity plus benefits), SEO and job-board title and keyword optimization, remote and hybrid work-environment templates, a pre-publish quality checklist (searchable title, measurable responsibilities, must-have versus nice-to-have separation, inclusive and bias-free language, compliant compensation info, and a 300-800 word target length), and advanced techniques such as 90-day success-metric framing and candidate-journey optimization with day-in-the-life examples and visible career-progression paths.

Use this skill when drafting or rewriting a job description that needs to be inclusive, legally compliant, SEO-optimized for job boards, and structured to a specific length target of 300-800 words. It suits technical and non-technical roles alike, with a ready reference template for software engineering postings and compensation-disclosure guidance for the states that require published salary ranges.

It is not a fit for internal role scoping or compensation-band decisions themselves - it assumes you already know the role's responsibilities, qualifications, and pay range, and focuses on turning that into compliant, well-structured, candidate-facing copy rather than determining what the role or pay should be.

Inputs are the role title, department, location, employment type, seniority level, required and preferred qualifications, and compensation and benefits details, including a salary range where legally required. The output is a complete job description following the proven structure - company overview, role overview, responsibilities, qualifications, compensation and benefits, and application instructions - checked against the quality checklist for length, inclusivity, and compliance before publishing.

Recruiters, hiring managers, and HR or People teams writing job postings who need consistent structure, inclusive and legally compliant language, and SEO-aware titles and keywords across every posting - especially useful for standardizing compensation transparency in jurisdictions that require salary ranges, and for building out an initial technical-role template like the included software engineer example.
