# Job Description Writer

Attracts the right people, and puts off the wrong ones on purpose.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **The role** (free text, e.g. "Title and level")
- **What they would actually do all day** (longer free text)
- **Team and who they report to** (longer free text)
- **Genuinely required versus nice to have** (longer free text)
- **Salary range and benefits** (longer free text)
- **What working here is really like** (longer free text)

## Prompt template

## Job description

- The role: {{The role}}
- What they would actually do all day: {{What they would actually do all day}}
- Team and who they report to: {{Team and who they report to}}
- Genuinely required versus nice to have: {{Genuinely required versus nice to have}}
- Salary range and benefits: {{Salary range and benefits}}
- What working here is really like: {{What working here is really like}}

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.
