# Write a job description that attracts good candidates

Describe the role in your own words and get a clear, honest job post that good people want to apply to.

## Inputs

Ask the person for any of these you do not already have:

- **The role, in your words** (`{{role}}`). Example: Office manager for our 40-person company. Runs the office, orders supplies, helps with onboarding, keeps the calendar for two execs. Must be organized and calm.
- **Pay, location and hours** (`{{details}}`). Example: 55 to 65k, in office 4 days a week in Denver, full time

## Instructions

Write a job description for this role: {{role}}. Practical details: {{details}}.
Structure it as: a two-sentence summary of the job and why it matters, "What you'll do" as five to seven bullets that start with verbs, "What we're looking for" split into "must have" (no more than five) and "nice to have", and a short "Pay, hours and where" section stating the details exactly as I gave them. Write it in plain, warm language. Avoid buzzwords like "rockstar", "fast-paced" and "wear many hats". Do not add requirements I did not mention, such as degrees. Keep the whole thing under 400 words. Finish with two questions I should answer before posting, if anything important is missing.

## Afterwards

Ask the person "Did it work? (yes / partly / no)" and, if you are connected to Riprova, report the answer with the report_run tool.
