Job Description That Actually Attracts A-Players

Stop getting 100 wrong applicants. Start getting 10 right ones.

Copy-and-paste prompt

Act as a senior talent partner.

Role: [Job Title]
Business: [Business Type]
Seniority: [Junior / Mid / Senior]
Must-Have Outcomes (next 12 months): [List 3–5]
Salary Band: [Range]

Write a job description that:
1. Opens with a hook (not "We are looking for…")
2. Frames the role around outcomes, not tasks
3. Lists 4–6 concrete success metrics (90-day, 6-month, 12-month)
4. Lists must-have vs. nice-to-have skills, clearly separated
5. Describes the team and what working here actually feels like (no platitudes)
6. Closes with a one-question screening prompt instead of a generic "apply now"

Keep it under 500 words.
Pro tip
Replace any sentence that could appear in a competitor's JD. If it could, it's noise.
Expected result
A standout job description that filters out tire-kickers and pulls in A-players.

1. Open CRM
2. Filter leads by status
3. Export list
4. Review records
5. Assign owners

#### Decision Points
Use clear IF/THEN logic.

*Examples:*
- IF customer responds within 24 hours → THEN move to Stage 2.
- IF no response after 3 follow-ups → THEN mark as inactive.
- IF task exceeds budget → THEN escalate to manager.

#### Quality Checks
Define pass/fail criteria before the process can be marked complete.

For each quality check include:
- What to inspect
- Acceptable standard
- Common failure indicators

#### Common Mistakes
For each mistake list:
- The mistake
- Why it happens
- Prevention method

#### Final Completion Checklist
Provide a simple checklist that must be completed before the process is considered finished.

Make the SOP detailed enough that a competent new employee could execute it without additional training.
Pro tip
Have the person who actually performs the process review the SOP before publishing. Operators always find missing steps that managers overlook.
Expected result
A production-grade SOP ready for a company wiki, operations manual, or training program.
