I’ve talked to enough consultants to know this: you wear a dozen hats and write job descriptions in between Zoom calls and dinner with your kids. Sometimes it’s a favor. Sometimes it’s scope creep. Sometimes it’s…a mess.

Sound familiar?

I recently chatted with a brilliant HR consultant who’s deep into system implementations and recruiting process audits. And right in the middle of that work, she’s being asked to “just take a look” at job descriptions. Some are one-and-done. Others are badly outdated. All need attention. But without a scalable system, she’s stuck doing rewrites in Word docs. And let’s be real, Word wasn’t built for this.

This is where Ongig comes in. Not to replace consultants. To make your job easier and your offering even stronger.

Why Better Job Descriptions to Consultants

Most job descriptions out there are old, unstructured, and loaded with legal jargon or internal lingo that turns off candidates. Your clients know this. That’s why they bring you in. But when it comes time to clean it all up? You need more than copy/paste and red ink.

Imagine if you could…

  • Scan a client’s JDs for bias, readability, SEO, and compliance in minutes.
  • Build templates that apply consistent formatting and required sections (like pay transparency) across all roles.
  • Export a clean, clear, candidate-friendly JD to Word or paste it into their ATS—without the formatting chaos.
  • Help them meet state or provincial pay laws without digging through every JD one by one.

That’s what Ongig’s platform does, and we offer tiers that fit one-off rewrites, small teams, or full-blown enterprise makeovers with or without ATS integrations.

Build Better JDs Into Your Proposal

If you’re already reviewing recruiting processes, auditing systems, or helping with compliance language, JD rewriting is a natural add-on. With Ongig, you can offer that service with confidence knowing you’ve got a platform that flags issues, suggests improvements, and helps standardize quality across the board.

We’ve even heard from consultants who pre-load 30-50 JDs for a project and knock them out faster using our templates and AI suggestions. It saves time, reduces errors, and makes you look like super cool.

Or Just Refer (and Get Paid)

If you don’t want to manage it yourself, no problem. You can also refer clients directly to us. If they sign up, you get a referral fee from their first-year subscription.

We’ve worked with fractional HR folks, boutique consultants, and larger implementation partners. We can even customize pricing or features if your client falls between the standard tiers.

This Isn’t ChatGPT in a Fancy Coat

Yes, your clients (and maybe you) could try to use ChatGPT for JDs. But here’s what they don’t get:

  • ChatGPT doesn’t know compliance laws or best practices.
  • It doesn’t catch all 14 types of bias we scan for.
  • It doesn’t know company’s voice.
  • It definitely doesn’t maintain version control or let you apply consistent formatting across dozens of roles.

Ongig is a job description management platform, built from years of research and used by companies that take hiring seriously.

Why I Wrote This

We built Ongig to address the poor, uninspiring job descriptions we kept seeing, and we know consultants are often the first line of defense. If you’re helping clients with recruiting, org design, or tech upgrades, JD support is part of the puzzle. We’d love to be your go-to resource.

FAQs

Do consultants get a discount if they want to use Ongig for multiple clients?

Yes, we offer flexible packages based on volume and can tailor a light-tier-plus version to fit consultants managing multiple small orgs.

What’s the referral fee structure?

You earn a % of a client’s first-year subscription if they sign on through your referral. Higher tiers mean bigger payouts.

Can Ongig handle Canadian or UK compliance?

Yes. We flag compliance based on US, Canadian, and UK laws—and we continue to add regional updates as laws evolve.

Does Ongig offer multi-language support?

Currently, JDs are built in English, but we support export and translation into multiple languages and are developing additional UI language options.

Is training included for consultants or clients?

Yes, our onboarding includes training videos, resources, and live support if needed. We’re here to help you (and your clients) get the most from the platform.
