I love a good shortcut. And the new ChatGPT for HR resource from OpenAI? That’s a treasure map for HR pros looking to get more done with less time.

It’s got solid prompts for onboarding, performance reviews, and even DEI support. But you know what’s missing? A scalable game plan for job descriptions.

Why Job Descriptions Aren’t Great (Even with ChatGPT)

Let’s be real: job descriptions are often an afterthought. Someone copies a JD from 2017, swaps a few words, and hits publish. Then they wonder why no one great applies. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are a huge help, but they’re not magic by themselves. Without guidance, ChatGPT might write something that sounds good but says nothing.

The OpenAI resource shows how to get ChatGPT to do the heavy lifting for HR. But prompts like “Create a job posting for a data analyst” still give you the same vanilla JDs you’d find anywhere. That’s where Ongig comes in. It’s like pairing your new sports car (ChatGPT) with a navigation system (Ongig) that keeps you out of traffic.

ChatGPT + Ongig = HR Superpowers

Here’s how it works:

  • Speed up drafting with ChatGPT. Use it to get a rough version based on the title or responsibilities. The OpenAI guide has prompt examples to get you started. Like “Based on this information [insert job responsibilities, skills, team context], write a professional job description for a [job title]. Include a short intro, responsibilities, required qualifications, and what makes the role appealing.”
  • Refine and optimize with Ongig. Ongig’s software takes your draft and gives it superpowers by using candidate-friendly language and improving structure based on real candidate behavior.
  • Stay consistent and compliant. ChatGPT can help generate ideas, but Ongig ensures every JD meets your legal, compliance, and readability standards across departments.
