Pro tip

Specify your DEI goals upfront. Ask the AI to flag any language that research shows deters underrepresented candidates (e.g., "rockstar", unnecessarily gendered terms). Always include salary transparency.

Prompt Variants by Model

Claude Sonnet 5
Act as a senior recruiter who writes inclusive job descriptions. Write a job posting.

Role: [JOB_TITLE] · Department: [DEPARTMENT] · Reports to: [MANAGER_TITLE]
Location: [LOCATION/REMOTE/HYBRID] · Type: [FULL-TIME/PART-TIME/CONTRACT]
Pay: $[MIN]-$[MAX] [hourly/annually]
Company: [NAME] — [BRIEF DESCRIPTION] · Team: [NUMBER] people
Main duties: [LIST OF DUTIES] · True requirements: [LIST OF REQUIREMENTS] · Benefits: [LIST OF BENEFITS] · How to apply: [LINK OR EMAIL, DEADLINE IF ANY]

Structure:
1. Opening hook (3-4 sentences that sell the role)
2. Role summary — what they'll own
3. Responsibilities — 8-10 action-verb bullets
4. Must-have qualifications — 5-7, essentials only
5. Nice-to-have — 3-4, clearly labeled
6. What we offer — comp, benefits, culture
7. DEI commitment — specific to us, not boilerplate
8. How to apply

Build sections 3, 4, 6 and 8 from what I supplied: reword and order my items and add none of your own, using fewer bullets than the stated count if I gave fewer items. A section whose input I left blank reads "TO CONFIRM" with the question I need to answer. A posting that lists a duty, requirement or benefit we do not have misleads the people who apply.

Then review your own posting: flag any language likely to deter underrepresented candidates and give the replacement.

Success means the must-haves are true requirements (not wish-list items), the pay range is stated plainly, and the posting reads well on a job board search result.

Match the tone I specified above exactly; where I gave none, write plainly and warmly, the way a good operator talks to a customer — no corporate filler, no hedging phrases.

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.

If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.
