Turn role notes, your pay band, and must-haves into a full job posting—without inventing salary, benefits, or DEI claims.

Last verified: 2026-09-08

Draft posting, not legal or HR advice. Do not invent pay, benefits, sponsorship, or DEI claims. You still publish.

Still choosing W-2 vs contractor? Use the small business (SMB) decision trees hub, then write the posting from notes you can defend.

Draft the posting; bias / invented-claim scrub in the other. Paste into your ATS/board after you own the numbers.

Protocol

  1. Step 1 of 5

    Assemble the hiring pack (5–8 min).

    Company one-liner, role title, location/remote rules, employment type, pay band you will actually offer (or [NEED FACT] if still deciding), must-haves vs nice-to-haves, top responsibilities, benefits you truly offer, application instructions, and any required EEO/legal boilerplate you already use. Distinct from an internal JD: this recipe is the public posting (title, summary, responsibilities, requirements, pay band, how to apply).

  2. Step 2 of 5

    Lock honesty + compliance lightness.

    Paste the rules first so the model cannot mint a salary, visa line, or DEI program you do not have.

    Copy-paste prompt

    Draft a full public job posting from my role notes.
    Hard rules:
    - Use ONLY pay, benefits, location, and claims I provide. Do not invent salary, equity, bonuses, visa sponsorship, or benefits.
    - Do not invent DEI programs, awards, or culture claims. If I supply EEO/boilerplate text, place it as provided—do not rewrite legal meaning.
    - Separate Must-haves vs Nice-to-haves. Avoid biased or exclusionary phrasing; flag risky wording with [REVIEW] instead of inventing replacements that change requirements.
    - Output: Job title, one-paragraph hook, About the role, Responsibilities, Must-haves, Nice-to-haves, Compensation (my band), Benefits (my list or [NEED FACT]), How to apply, optional EEO block from my paste.
    - This is a draft posting—not legal/HR advice.
    Confirm in one sentence, then wait for my pack.
  3. Step 3 of 5

    Fill pack (step 3a) and generate (step 3b).

    Paste role notes and the band you will post, then send the generate command.

    Paste pack

    COMPANY ONE-LINER: [ ]
    ROLE TITLE: [ ]
    LOCATION / REMOTE RULES: [ ]
    EMPLOYMENT TYPE: [FT / PT / contract]
    PAY BAND I WILL POST: [or NEED FACT]
    RESPONSIBILITIES (bullets):
    [ ]
    MUST-HAVES:
    [ ]
    NICE-TO-HAVES:
    [ ]
    BENEFITS I ACTUALLY OFFER:
    [or NONE / NEED FACT]
    HOW TO APPLY: [email / form / ATS link]
    EEO / REQUIRED LEGAL LANGUAGE (paste exactly or NONE):
    [ ]
    VOICE: [plain / startup / formal]

    After you send the filled pack, copy the Generate command in the next box and paste it into the SAME chat so the AI runs the decision tree / produces the output.

    Generate command — copy and send this next (same chat)

    Draft the full posting now. Mark [NEED FACT] for missing pay/benefits. Do not invent numbers or DEI claims. Flag biased phrasing with [REVIEW].
  4. Step 4 of 5

    Second-model check (5 min).

    In the other tool, paste the draft plus your role notes:

    Second-model check

    Here is a job posting draft from another assistant plus my role notes.
    Find: (1) invented salary/benefits/sponsorship, (2) fake DEI or culture claims, (3) must-haves smuggled into nice-to-haves or vice versa, (4) biased or exclusionary phrasing.
    Return only corrections. Not legal/HR advice.
  5. Step 5 of 5

    Human publish.

    Fill [NEED FACT]. Confirm pay band with whoever owns comp. Paste EEO text unchanged if counsel/HR supplied it. Post to your board/ATS yourself.

When not to

  • Do not invent salary, equity, or benefits to “compete.”
  • Do not fabricate DEI programs or awards.
  • Not a substitute for employment counsel on classification, pay-transparency statutes, or protected-class language in your jurisdiction.
  • Skip if you have no role notes and no pay band yet—decide those first.
