## Generating a Job Description with AI

### During Job Creation

1. Navigate to **Jobs** in the left sidebar.
2. Click **Create Job** or the **+** button to start a new job posting.
3. Enter the **Job Title** (e.g., "Senior Software Engineer").
4. Look for the **AI Generate** option in the job description editor.
5. Click **Generate with AI**.
6. The AI will produce a comprehensive job description including:
   - **Role overview** / About the role
   - **Key responsibilities**

## Writing Effective Job Descriptions

Even with AI assistance, consider these best practices:

### Structure

A strong job description typically includes:

1. **Job Title** — Clear, standard, and searchable
2. **About the Company** — Brief company overview (2–3 sentences)
3. **About the Role** — What the position involves and why it matters
4. **Responsibilities** — 5–8 key duties and expectations
5. **Requirements** — Must-have qualifications and experience
6. **Nice-to-Haves** — Preferred but not required qualifications
7. **Benefits & Compensation** — Salary range, benefits, and perks
8. **How to Apply** — Clear application instructions

### Tone and Language

- Use **active voice** and direct language
- Avoid unnecessary jargon or acronyms
- Be **inclusive** — avoid gendered language or biased requirements
- Focus on **outcomes** rather than just tasks
- Highlight **growth opportunities** and company culture

### Length

- Aim for **400–800 words** for most roles
- Shorter descriptions may lack detail; longer ones lose candidate attention
- Use bullet points for easy scanning
