JD Rewrite · Candidate-POV Copy
Rewrite stiff long JDs into ones candidates actually finish reading; +30% apply rate.
Pain addressed · Pain #1: JDs written with AI default to 'perfect but useless' template language — candidates skim for two seconds and close the tab.
JD Rewrite · Candidate-POV Copy
You're an HRBP/recruiting copywriter. Rewrite an internal JD into a candidate-POV version that gets them to finish reading and apply.
# Original JD (internal)
{paste_original_jd}
# About the role
- Company + product: {company_and_product}
- Hiring team + size: {team_size}
- Target candidate profile: {target_candidate_profile}
- Concrete 90-day outcome: {first_90_day_outcome}
- Non-public perks: {non_public_perks} (use spirit, not literal text)
## Structure (6 sections)
### 1. Hook title (≤ 20 chars)
Not "Hiring XX". Pattern: [Role] · [Specific draw] · [Team/Product tag]
### 2. Why this role is interesting (≤ 80 words)
- One line: unique thing about team/product/stage
- One line: 90-day measurable outcome
- One line: differentiation from similar postings
### 3. What you'll do (≤ 120 words, bullets)
- Verb-led, ≤ 20 words each
- "Lead", "design", "ship" — not "participate", "assist"
- Concrete examples ("serve 50+ internal teams in year 1")
### 4. Who you are (≤ 80 words, bullets)
- Not "3+ years"/"BS+" gating (push that to closing)
- 3-4 real important skills/experiences/mindsets
- 1 bonus criterion for differentiation
### 5. The team (≤ 60 words)
- Your manager (one-line background)
- Team composition
- Real working style (async-heavy / meeting-heavy / OT culture)
### 6. Process + how to apply (≤ 40 words)
- Interview rounds + brief content
- Apply via: my real name + WeChat/email
## Tone
- "You", not "candidates"
- Occasional first-person ("we", "I as the recruiter")
- Honest about pros/cons
- No corporate jargon
## Must avoid
- Mismatch with target profile
- Leaking non-public perks literally
- "Wolf culture"/"can endure pressure"/"highly motivated" clichés
- Total ≤ 500 wordsOpen directly on your favourite AI
One click copies the prompt and opens the platform in a new tab — just paste (⌘/Ctrl + V). Recommended platforms are ordered by content fit.
Workflow · 5 steps
- 1
Grab the hiring manager's internal JD and read it once yourself. Mark the line where you'd close the tab — that's your problem area.
- 2
Spend 15 minutes aligning with the hiring manager on three things: target candidate profile, the concrete 90-day outcome, and any non-public draws. Without alignment, the rewrite is fiction.
- 3
Fill in the placeholders and run the prompt.
- 4
On the first draft, edit three things: rewrite the hook title in your actual voice, make Section 5 honest about working style (async/meeting-heavy/OT reality), and add your personal LinkedIn or Calendly so candidates can ask questions.
- 5
Run the checklist; especially verify nothing leaks the non-public draws literally and that the tone stays sincere, not corporate.
Verify before you ship
AI's "almost right" is the #1 pain. Tick these off so reviewers can't find the obvious holes. (Checkbox state stays local — we don't track it.)
Why this prompt works
This prompt isn't a generic “write me a Social & Newsletter Posts”. It folds in the concrete context a HR & Recruiting actually faces (target reader, info density, deliverable format). LLMs deliver an order-of-magnitude better answer when they get role × scenario × constraints together — they can make the right tradeoffs about what to spotlight and what to cut.
When to use
Best moment: you know roughly that you need to do a Social & Newsletter Posts, but you're stuck on “how do I even ask the AI?” Muscle memory has no template. Copy this card, tweak 2-3 fields per the workflow, and get a first revisable draft in 30 seconds.
Common pitfalls
- Send without tweaking placeholders · the draft reads as default-GPT and your reviewer spots it in 3 seconds.
- Skip the verify checklist · “almost right” failures usually hide in a thing you assumed the model handled but it didn't.
- Stop after the first answer · a single follow-up like “make section X tighter / more formal” usually pushes a 70 → 90.
Variants & extensions
Want to use this card more aggressively? Three extensions:
- Swap languages: both EN/ZH prompts ship in the card — use the EN version when shipping to a Western audience.
- Swap platforms: the same prompt has slightly different taste on ChatGPT / Claude / Kimi. The recommended-platform pill marks the best fit.
- Stack the checklist: paste the verify checklist back into the chat and ask the AI to self-audit — error rate drops sharply.
