As generative AI continues to weave itself into hiring software one way that it will become pervasive is through job description generator functionality. A number of these tools already exist and I expect to see a lot more of them being launched in the next couple of years.
The reason for this proliferation is simple. HR pros are generally bad at writing them.
- They are not writers. HR professionals are typically trained in the legal and administrative aspects of human resources, not in writing. This can lead to job descriptions that are poorly written, grammatically incorrect, and difficult to understand.
- They are not familiar with the job market. HR professionals often do not have a deep understanding of the positions they are hiring for. This can lead to job descriptions that are unrealistic in terms of the skills and experience required, or that do not accurately reflect the salary range for the position.
- They are not focused on attracting candidates. HR professionals are often focused on ensuring that job descriptions are accurate and compliant with legal requirements. However, they may not be as focused on attracting candidates to the position. This can lead to job descriptions that are dry and boring, and that do not do a good job of selling the position to potential candidates.
List of Job Description Generators
From my research I can already see Indeed, JobAdder, Jobvite, Workable, RecruitCRM, LinkedIn and Ziprecruiter as vendors with this tool included. These software companies offer a variety of features that can help you to create effective job descriptions, including:
- A library of pre-written job descriptions
- The ability to customize job descriptions
- The ability to track the performance of your job descriptions
By using a job description generator, you can save time and effort when creating job descriptions, and you can be sure that your job descriptions are effective in attracting qualified candidates.
In addition to these software companies, there are also a number of free online tools that can be used to create job descriptions. These tools typically offer a limited set of features, but they can be a good option if you are on a budget.

While these tools will help you to quickly generate a job description, that document may not necessarily be a compelling ad that drives applicants. They still sound a bit dry and robotic to the average job seeker so you will need a human component to help them stand out.
Don't get caught up thinking the software will do all the work. Creativity still reigns when it comes to attracting quality candidates. I'd recommend having a copywriter on staff to bring that human element to your job ads.
