Job Description Generator
Generate an engaging, inclusive job description that attracts top talent and clearly communicates role expectations.
A job description is the first impression every candidate gets of your company — and most of them are either too vague to attract anyone specific, or so full of buzzwords and inflated requirements that strong candidates stop reading. Businesses of all sizes, from two-person startups to enterprise HR teams, write job descriptions every time they hire. The best ones do two things simultaneously: attract the right people and filter out the wrong ones. This means being specific about what the role actually involves day-to-day, honest about what you genuinely require (not your wish list), transparent about pay, and selling the role and company in a way that makes the right person excited to apply. This free job description generator takes your input — the title, responsibilities, required skills, and what you offer — and produces a complete posting with an engaging role overview, an inclusive requirements breakdown, a benefits section, and a clear application call to action. It uses people-first, non-gendered language by default. Fill in the specifics and you'll have something ready to post to LinkedIn, Indeed, or your careers page in minutes. Before publishing, personalise the company description section and check that your must-have skills list reflects genuine requirements, not a proxy for how many years someone has had a job title.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a job description attract better candidates?▾
Specificity, honesty, and salary transparency. The best job descriptions read like they were written for one specific person, not a committee. They separate must-haves from nice-to-haves so strong candidates who don't meet 100% of a wish list still apply, and they include a salary range because vague compensation is a leading reason candidates disengage early.
Should I include a salary range in my job description?▾
Yes — and in a growing number of places (New York City, Colorado, California, the EU) it's now legally required. Even where it isn't mandatory, including a range increases qualified applicant volume, reduces time spent screening candidates with misaligned expectations, and signals that you respect candidates' time.
How long should a job description be?▾
300 to 700 words for most roles. Long requirement lists — especially long lists of must-haves — discourage qualified candidates who don't tick every box. Research from LinkedIn shows women are significantly more likely to self-select out of roles where they don't meet 100% of the stated requirements. Keep it tight and accurate.
How do I write a job description that doesn't accidentally exclude good candidates?▾
Audit your language for gendered terms (e.g. "ninja," "rockstar," "aggressive"), remove degree requirements that aren't genuinely necessary, separate must-haves from nice-to-haves, and be specific about the problem the role solves rather than the person who has always done it a certain way. This generator applies inclusive language by default.
What's the difference between responsibilities and requirements in a job posting?▾
Responsibilities are what the person will do (action-oriented: "lead," "build," "manage"). Requirements are what they already need to bring to do those things. Mixing the two creates confusing, essay-like descriptions. This generator separates them clearly so candidates know exactly what they're signing up for and whether they qualify.
Where should I post my job description?▾
Start with LinkedIn and Indeed for the broadest reach. For specialist roles, niche boards outperform: Stack Overflow Jobs or Wellfound for engineers, Dribbble or Behance for designers, Workable or Greenhouse for internal tracking. Employee referrals consistently produce the highest-quality hires, so share internally first.
