Writing clear and engaging job descriptions is a constant struggle for recruiters and hiring managers.
And, who has the time to write them from scratch?
That’s where the power of AI comes in. This post explores 5 tools for AI job descriptions that help you write JDs faster (and easier).
1. Ongig AI Job Descriptions
Ongig’s Text Analyzer uses AI to help you create a draft of your job description. It’s quick, easy, and editable to suit your unique roles, departments, or locations.
How it works:
Once you login to Ongig, click “New Job.”
Click ‘Write Sample”
Click the “Enter Job Title” field.
Type any job description title to generate a job description. Click “Generate Now”.
After you choose which sections to include, the job description will be created with a few sentences about the job and a list of responsibilities. It will also generate a bulleted list of Required Skills.
…and Benefits, Mission Statement, etc. Note: You can create custom templates and choose which sections to include in your draft job postings.
Once you use Ongig’s AI for job descriptions, you can make edits with your team, and compare versions before publishing to your career site.

Ongig’s AI job descriptions also reduce masculine bias and remove wordy sentences to create more “plain language” inclusive postings with a click of a button (or 2).
2. Grammarly AI Job Descriptions
How it works:
- Download Grammarly
- From your document, open Grammarly to launch its generative AI writing features
- Enter a prompt with instructions and critical information that helps personalize your job description.
Include the following information in your prompt:

- Your desired format (e.g., put the job responsibilities in a bulleted list)
- The tone you’d like your job description to have
- Specifics about your company
The more detailed your prompts are, the more precise and more personalized your job description will be.
I prompted Grammarly to Create a job description for a software engineer working for a biotech company. Check out the sample below:
