Prompt template
## Job description - The role: [text: Title and level] - What they would actually do all day: [textarea: The real work, not the aspirational version] - Team and who they report to: [textarea: Structure] - Genuinely required versus nice to have: [textarea: Be strict about which is which] - Salary range and benefits: [textarea: The actual range] - What working here is really like: [textarea: Size, stage, pace, and the hard parts] Lead with the work. Nobody reads the paragraph about our mission first. Cut requirements that are not requirements. Long lists mostly deter the candidates who would have been good but do not tick everything. Publish the range. Describe the difficult parts honestly, since hiring someone who would hate this job helps nobody. Include what success looks like at six months, and set out the process with a realistic timeline.
