Are you struggling with the task of writing, updating, and managing job descriptions? Enter the solution: an automated job description builder.

Companies of all sizes have to write, update, and manage job descriptions. For small organizations, this may be a simpler task, with a limited number of positions they hire for each year.

But as your company grows, managing job descriptions becomes more of a challenge. And we can’t overstate how important your job ads are to the hiring process.

From creating a diverse hiring pipeline to reducing churn during the hiring process, effective job descriptions are critical to any hiring strategy. Read on for a deep dive into Ongig’s ultimate automated job description builder solution. It can help you create, manage, and update job descriptions at scale.

The Challenge of Writing Job Descriptions

Job descriptions need to be detailed, accurate, consistent, and objective. Good JDs are also gender-neutral, free from boring industry jargon and offensive language. They should describe each job, the company, and applicant qualifications. You want to show potential candidates what you offer and how they might add to your company’s culture.

In smaller companies, writing job descriptions is a challenge because HR managers and recruiters tend to write them less often, so it’s more difficult to write an objective, accurate, and professional job description. In larger organizations, it can be difficult to ensure that job descriptions written by different people from various teams stick to company standards for content, format, and language.

In fact, a Career Plug report shared that 52% of job seekers turn down a job opportunity due to poor experiences with their prospective employers. As such, an external perspective (or tool) can help standardize language, formatting, and tone to drive winning candidate engagements at scale to improve conversions. 

How Ongig’s Automated Job Description Builder Helps You Recruit Smarter

Creating new job descriptions from scratch with an automated job description builder

Need new job descriptions and not sure where to start? Ongig’s automated job description builder (Text Analyzer) can guide you through the whole process.

You can now create job postings from scratch by just typing a job title into the tool. Here’s how it works.

In Text Analyzer, open a new job, click the “Write Sample” button, and type in a title, “Web Developer” for example:

automated job description builder write sample

Select the sections you want to include (based on your custom templates or a template Ongig recommends based on research) and click the “Generate Now” button:

Then, Text Analyzer uses AI to create a Web Developer JD you can use. If anything you want to include is missing, you and your team can edit the draft to fit the position:

Then, to reduce masculine bias and shorten long sentences in the draft job posting, you’ll click “Optimize Content” and the “Rewrite Now” button:

Consulting the Readability Score

Ongig’s Text Analyzer presents a readability score under the “Section Finder” tab that lists the important JD sections, which appeal to quality candidates. These sections include “Required Skills,” “Diversity & Inclusion,” and “Mission Statement.”

The platform even explains the importance of each section with current workforce data. For example, 32% of working professionals would consider relocating with a pay cut if offered an opportunity to work from home. The statistic supports the explanation as to why job descriptions should include a “Flexible Location” section if applicable. 

After the tool uses AI to improve your draft, you’ll notice a score increase. The total score for this job increased from 79.5% to 83.3%. 

Simply hover your cursor over an underlined word, and the platform highlights potential biases associated with that word. For instance, “support” is a feminine-coded term, although this is not immediately obvious. Text Analyzer also automatically suggests neutral words, such as “help” (in the case of “support”), or users may choose to delete it entirely. 

To further optimize the draft, you can click to replace any feminine words to be more gender-neutral and improve the score even more. You can also click to remove any “exclusionary words” (this job has none).

You can also click “View Changes” to see a comparison of versions:

Once you’ve made your edits, you can easily export a copy of the job posting to Word, PDF, or HTML. There’s also an option to push directly to your ATS through API integration for our premium and professional plans. 

Compliance Matters

The world of hiring and recruitment continuously evolves, so it is important for your JDs to comply with the latest standards. Ongig’s Text Analyzer keeps your JDs up to speed with the latest OFCCP rules by simply clicking on a checkbox. 

Clicking the checkbox enables the platform to check for instances of discrimination and ensure merit-based TA decisions. By doing so, your team can streamline hiring contracts and maintain your company’s reputation as an equal employment opportunity (EEO) employer.  

Essentially, the best automated job description builder can potentially strengthen your company’s employer branding by:

Prioritizing employee-first environments where every individual has equal opportunities to shine regardless of their backgrounds. Inclusivity establishes trust among people beyond hires, gaining credibility from investors, partners, and even clients. EEO branding also improves employee engagement, raising the quality of hire and reducing workplace dissatisfaction. 

EEOs are an effective consideration for abiding by the merit-based hiring criteria administered by the Trump administration (such as the recent one that outlawed all racially discriminatory DEI activities from federal contractors and subcontractors).  

Updating existing job descriptions with an automated job description builder

If you have an existing library of job descriptions, you may think you have no need for a job description builder. But existing job descriptions can quickly become outdated, and larger companies often struggle to keep job descriptions consistent and compliant with internal or external regulations.

That’s where our automated job description builder comes in! Text Analyzer reviews your existing job descriptions for quality, consistency, and language. Some of our customers use it to remove biased language and reduce jargon, and in doing so, they create better conversion rates from prospective employees.

Because the Text Analyzer is automated, you can cut costly human labor from the process of reviewing and updating your existing job postings.

Does your team prefer to update existing job descriptions manually? The Text Analyzer tool works for that use case too. It can score job descriptions based on several factors including readability and inclusivity, offering suggestions for how to improve text and allowing your team to perform a comparative analysis of different job descriptions.

If you find biased words, you can easily click to replace them with more inclusive suggestions. If you find complex language that sounds too “legal,” you just click to replace it with more plain language. All of this helps improve your job postings and increases your chances of attracting top talent.

Workplace surveys reveal that diverse companies outperform their more exclusionary competitors with a 36% increase in profitability. Objective, skills-based hiring also results in a 2.6 times higher likelihood of organizations meeting their hiring targets.  

You can confidently rewrite your existing JDs with Ongig’s Text Analyzer platform by

  • Fixing grammar, formatting, and spelling errors.
  • Reducing masculine biases.
  • Shortening lengthy sentences and sections.
  • Rewriting based on anti-discrimination guidelines.
  • Optimizing job titles to create an impactful first impression.  

Simply click on the checkboxes for each action and watch the AI work its magic, which only takes a few minutes. 

Large-scale reformatting of job descriptions with an automated job description builder

Reformatting and updating a large volume of job descriptions? Ongig Text Analyzer‘s automation capabilities make the process simple. The tool compares existing job descriptions to your preferred templates, making edits to improve readability, clarity, and consistency.

It can also automatically fill in missing sections according to company-wide standards, like providing details about salary, benefits, and the hiring process.

If your organization has struggled in the past with maintaining consistency in job postings, these templates for reformatting are a huge help in updating job description content without requiring so many people hours.

Templates in Text Analyzer are customized to fit your company’s needs and preferences and then locked to prevent unauthorized edits and maintain compliance.
