Rewrite a job advert to be clearer and more inclusive
Cut jargon, separate must-haves from nice-to-haves, and flag wording that puts people off applying.
The task
Job adverts often grow by copy-and-paste: long lists of requirements, internal jargon, and phrases that discourage good candidates. Give the assistant the current advert and ask for a cleaner version with a clear split between essential and desirable criteria.
A prompt to start from
Paste it into your AI assistant, then fill in the bits in [square brackets].
Rewrite this job advert. Goals: - Plain British English, short sentences, no internal jargon - Split requirements into "Essential" (at most six) and "Nice to have" - Describe what the person will actually do in their first six months - Flag, in a separate list, any wording that could discourage people from applying (gender-coded words, unnecessary years-of-experience demands, degree requirements that aren't needed for the job) and explain why
Don't add benefits, salary or claims that aren't in the original.

What to check in the output
- Confirm the essential criteria are genuinely essential with the hiring manager.
- Check nothing factual changed: location, hours, salary, contract type.
- The flagged-language list is a prompt for judgement, not a rulebook.
Before you paste anything in
Adverts are public, so this is low risk. Don't paste candidate CVs or internal salary bands into the same conversation unless your policy allows.
Your organisation's AI policy wins over anything here.
