ChatGPT Prompts for Job Posting: 12 for Clear, Fair Job Ads

ChatGPT prompts for job posting turn the real facts of a role into a clear job ad that the right people will apply to. The 12 prompts below help you draft the posting, sort must-haves from nice-to-haves, check wording for bias, add pay and benefits, and run final checks. This is not legal advice: posting rules vary by location, so have HR or employment counsel confirm the final ad.

Write job ads that follow EEO law: no age, gender, national origin, or other protected-class wording such as "young" or "digital native", and only physical requirements the job truly needs. Check the pay transparency law for the job's location. This is not legal advice.

Draft the posting

1. Role facts to job ad

Write a job posting from these facts: [title], [team and manager], [location and setup], [pay range], [benefits], [duties], [requirements], [how to apply]. Use short bullets and "you will".

2. Two-sentence role summary

Write a two-sentence summary of this role [duties] that tells a job seeker what they will do and who they will help.

3. Careers page version

Turn this job board posting [paste] into a careers page version with a short section on the team, using only these facts [paste].

Get the requirements right

4. Must-have vs nice-to-have

Here are my requirements [list] and the duties [list]. Split them into must-have on day one and nice to have, and flag any requirement the duties do not support.

5. Degree and years check

Does this role [duties] truly need [degree or years of experience]? Suggest a skills-based alternative if not.

6. Work demands check

List the physical and schedule demands in this draft [paste] and tell me which ones the job really needs, based on these duties [list]. Add an accommodation line.

Check the wording

7. Inclusive wording audit

Review this job ad [paste] for phrases that could put off qualified applicants or point to age, sex, national origin, disability, or other protected traits. Give a neutral rewrite for each.

8. Jargon cleanup

Replace internal jargon and buzzwords in this posting [paste] with plain words a job seeker outside our company would understand.

9. Title check

Is [job title] the title most job seekers would search for this work [duties]? Suggest up to three clearer titles and explain each in one line.

Pay, compliance, and launch

10. Pay transparency checklist

The job is based in [city, state or country] and open to [remote locations]. List the posting rules I should confirm, such as pay range, benefits, or deadline, as questions for HR.

11. Benefits section

Write a short benefits section from only these benefits [list]. Do not add perks I did not give.

12. Pre-launch check

Check this final posting [paste] for: title matches the job, pay range present, how to apply is clear, accommodation contact included, and nothing promised that we do not offer.

Write the whole posting in one prompt

The flagship Job Posting Prompt: Role Facts to an Inclusive Job Ad takes the role, location, pay and benefits, duties, requirements, work demands, draft lines, and how to apply. It returns a posting draft, a requirements check, an inclusive wording audit, a work demands check, pay transparency items to confirm, and a posting checklist. Its example removes a lifting requirement from a desk role and rewrites "young, energetic team".

Tips for job postings with ChatGPT

Start from real duties, not a copied ad from another company. Several US states and cities require a pay range in job postings, including Colorado, California, Washington, and New York, so check the rules where the job is based and where remote applicants live. Keep requirements to what the job needs on day one; long wish lists can discourage qualified people from applying.
