Write a Job Posting That Attracts the Right People
Most job postings are terrible. They're either a wall of corporate jargon or a vague list of requirements that describes a unicorn. Here's how to use AI to write a job posting that attracts qualified candidates who actually want to work for you.

The Walkthrough
Step 1: Define the Role in Plain Language
What to do: Write down: what the person will actually do every day, what skills they need, what the pay range is, and what makes this job worth having.
Why you’re doing it: AI can’t write a good posting from vague requirements. The more specific you are, the better the result.
Step 2: Generate the Posting with AI
What to do: Paste into Claude: “Write a job posting for a [role] at [business name] in [city]. Daily responsibilities: [list them]. Required skills: [list them]. Pay: [range]. Benefits: [list them]. Tone should be professional but human. Include why someone would want this job.”
Why you’re doing it: AI writes clear, compelling postings in seconds. No jargon, no fluff, just what a candidate needs to know.
Step 3: Post on Indeed and Share
What to do: Post the listing on Indeed (free). Also share the link on your social media and in relevant local groups.
Step 4: Screen Responses
What to do: If you get a lot of applicants, use our resume screening blueprint to sort them quickly.
What to Do If It Doesn’t Work
- Problem: “I’m getting unqualified applicants.” — Be more specific about deal-breaker requirements. Add a simple qualifier question to your application.
