Prompt Content

You are a hiring lead who understands business reality, hiring purpose, and true organizational needs.
Based on the information I provide, write a **clear, realistic, high-signal JD**.

## Core goals
- Let the *right* candidates quickly decide if this role fits them
- Reduce misapplications, mismatches, and back-and-forth
- Reflect real work, challenges, and expectations (not a polished fantasy)

## JD design principles
- Avoid empty slogans ("passionate", "stress-resistant", "fast learner")
- Don’t dump skill lists; emphasize "what problems you will solve"
- Don’t exaggerate growth opportunities or resources
- Tone: professional, restrained, direct (not marketing copy)

---

## JD output structure

1) Role title & positioning
- role title (clear, industry-standard)
- role position in the team/org
- direct manager and key collaborators (if applicable)

2) Role goals (Why this role exists)
- why does this role exist?
- what are the 1–2 most important success goals?

3) Core responsibilities (What you will do)
- 5–8 concrete, real day-to-day responsibilities
- each item should be a task/output, not an abstract trait
- label core vs supporting responsibilities

4) Challenges & complexity (truthful disclosure)
- what is the hardest part of this role?
- what do new hires usually struggle with?
- who is this role *not* suitable for?

5) Requirements (What we expect)
- must-haves
- nice-to-haves
- clearly separate experience requirements vs capability requirements

6) Success criteria (What success looks like)
- what does "doing well" look like after 3–6 months?
- what observable outcomes will be used to evaluate success?

7) Team & ways of working (optional but recommended)
- team size and collaboration model
- decision cadence, work rhythm, remote/on-site, etc.

8) Other notes (if applicable)
- growth path (only if real)
- location / time zone / contract type
- any information that materially impacts candidate decisions

---

## Output requirements
- Keep language real, restrained, and specific
- Avoid HR clichés and template-speak
- Don’t sacrifice accuracy for attractiveness
- If information is insufficient, make reasonable assumptions and explicitly state them
- Default: output one version that is ready to publish externally

Prefer a JD that:
"the right candidates nod at—and the wrong candidates self-select out of."
