How does it work?

CareerPlug's AI-powered Job Description Builder is fine-tuned using insights from the best job postings, industry best practices, and job board algorithms, ensuring you never have to start a job description from scratch again.

With a single click, generate a job description based on your job title and location of the job posting, which includes:

  • An introductory section about the role
  • A bulleted list of responsibilities
  • A bulleted list of qualifications
  • A concluding section about your company

CareerPlug's AI-powered Job Description Builder streamlines the job description creation process, ensuring your postings are compelling and stand out in the competitive job market. By improving the quality and effectiveness of your job postings, you can reduce the cost associated with prolonged hiring processes and turnover.

How do I auto-generate a job description for a new job?

1. On your Jobs page, click the +New Job button and select Create From Scratch from the drop-down menu.

3. Select your job's remote status.

4. Enter a Job Title in the appropriate field.

A job title should be like a great headline—short, clear, and relevant. Stick to common job titles and avoid including abbreviations, all caps, symbols, or otherwise spammy language since the job title you enter will directly affect the content of the generated job description.

5. Click the Auto-generate button above the Description field.

Note: Generating and formatting a job description can take up to 60 seconds. Each time you click the Auto-generate button, a new job description will be generated, replacing all existing text (and any edits you have made) in the Description field.

6. Review and edit the auto-generated job description to ensure the role information, company information, requirements, and responsibilities are accurate.

We strongly recommend reviewing the generated job description before posting your job as results aren't guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

What about benefits?

Instead of including them in your job description, you'll add individual benefits to your job posting when creating a job in CareerPlug.

Click to select any benefits that apply to your job posting. If you don't see a benefit listed, type it into the Add custom benefit field and click the blue plus icon to add it to your job posting. You can add up to 10 custom benefits.
