Write a job description that attracts the right people
Long wish-lists scare off good candidates. You will define what the person must achieve in 90 days, separate must-haves from nice-to-haves, state pay and location, and run inclusive-language checks.
You will practise
- Writing outcome-based responsibilities
- Limiting must-have requirements
- Using inclusive, plain language
1Brief
Specific answers make better results — with or without AI.
2Make
Pick a route. The template gives you a structure with
[[blanks]]to fill in yourself. Your own key drafts it for you — then you still check it.See the exact prompt — copy it into any AI chat you already use
3Check
The same rules run on every draft, human or AI. Most first drafts fail something — that is the point.
4Improve
Fix one item at a time, then check again. Notice which fixes made it better — that is the skill.
- Run the check first.
5Ship
Use it for real: send it, post it or save it. Record what happened — that is your evidence of learning.

Questions people ask
How long should a job description be?
Around 250–400 words is enough for most roles: outcomes, real requirements, pay and how to apply.
Should I include salary?
Yes, where you can. Many candidates skip ads without pay, and in some places pay transparency is required by law.
Do I need an AI key to use this?
No. The guided template teaches the same skill with no AI at all. If you add your own free key (Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras), the tool can also draft and revise. The key stays in your browser and requests go straight to that provider.
Where is my work saved?
In this browser only (local storage), until you copy or download it. Nothing you type is sent to Open Practice.
