Generate job descriptions with ChatGPT

Our first example on using ChatGPT is a simple one that anyone can relate to: Preparing a Job Description for a newly created job, and a recruiting strategy for how to go about recruiting for this role.

Here is the prompt (Note that I have asked ChatGPT to assume a "role". This is important in asking the software to provide better input).

Below is the reply from ChatGPT both in terms of the job description and the recruiting strategy.

Note that the Job description goes (farly on point) beyond what our prompt requested, and that the recruiting strategy also goes beyond job postings. Of course, you would want to tweak these to best suit your format and circumstances. But in this case, creating these very useful drafts took overall less than one minute. As an add-on, you could also ask ChatGPT to generate potential interview questions. See the prompt and the reply below. You will agree that these are very useful and can save considerable time of HR staff. You could continue asking additional questions, such as "how to evaluate the responses provided by each candidate" once you have your notes from the interviews.

​These are useful. Please generate insightful interview questions we can use to determine who would be the best candidate for this role, remembering that the role is to help us create a consulting practice to help our clients with their HR Analytics needs.
