If you’ve ever hired through platforms like Manatal or Workable, you’ve probably used their flashy “AI-powered job description generator.” Click a button, fill in a title, and boom—your job post writes itself. Easy, right?
But here’s the thing: You won’t find that feature on our hiring platform, WorkScreen.io.
And you might be wondering…
“Wait… if WorkScreen is supposed to help me hire fast, easy, and right, why don’t you offer a one-click job description generator like everyone else?”
Fair question.
We could’ve built one.
It would’ve looked impressive on a landing page.
It would’ve sounded smart.
But we didn’t.
On purpose.
Because flashy doesn’t always mean effective.
Here’s the real reason we skipped the “1-click AI-generated job description” hype—
And why should you not use it either?
AI-Generated Job Posts Look Like Ghost Jobs
You might think using AI to write your job post saves you time… but what you end up with is a job description that looks the same as 100 others already floating around the internet.
It’s generic. It’s vague. And top talent can spot it a mile away.
It feels like a ghost job, like the company isn’t really hiring. It looks like something quickly copied and pasted just to fill the page.
And you know what top candidates do when they see a post like that?
They scroll right past it, and you miss out on top talent.
Therefore, instead of relying on AI to help you create a job post from scratch, come up with one yourself and then use AI to polish it so that it does not feel like any other ghost job. Click on this link to learn more about how to create a good job post that attracts top talent.
Want a smarter way to evaluate candidates once they apply? Let WorkScreen.io handle it. WorkScreen automatically evaluates, scores, and ranks applicants on a performance-based leaderboard—making it easy to spot top talent, save time, and make smarter, data-driven hiring decisions.
An AI-generated job post does not help you sell your company.
You should approach creating a job post not only as an opportunity to get the right candidate but also to sell your company as you share your mission and values. This is your opportunity to get a smart, talented human being to choose you over everyone else. And an AI-generated job post cannot help you achieve that.
Lazy, AI-generated job posts don’t sell.
They don’t inspire.
They don’t connect.
They just fill space. If you want someone exceptional, you need to write like someone who cares. To achieve this, you need to put effort into creating a good job post.
Great Job Post is NOT Just a List — It’s a Sales Pitch. This means that as you create a job post, you shouldn’t just list tasks and requirements; you should make people want the job. Don’t just say what the role involves (like a checklist). Instead, show applicants why the role is exciting, meaningful, or a great opportunity and why they should join your company.
You Know Your Business Better Than AI Ever Will
may be a useful tool, but it doesn’t know exactly what you are looking for.
It doesn’t know what success looks like in your company and how you can achieve it.
It doesn’t know the little quirks of your culture that make people stay.
Only you know that.
And if you don’t inject that into your job post, you’re missing the biggest opportunity to attract the right person.
What’s the bottom line?
Take time to create a job post that includes all the important aspects of your company, since you understand the business more than AI ever will, so that it does not misrepresent you.
Writing a Great Job Description = Respecting the Candidate
Let’s flip the coin.
Imagine you’re applying for a job. You land on a job post that says something like this:
“We’re looking for a writer.”
You will probably skip it since it sounds fake or lazy.
It shows no thought, no care, no effort. That job post doesn’t respect your time or your value as a professional.
Now imagine reading a job post that’s specific, clear, and actually feels like a human wrote it, like this one:
“Writer needed for Pet Blog with 50,000 Australian viewers”
This is a much better title that will attract the right people because it tells you exactly what the employer needs, and what niche the right candidate will be writing for. It also tells you that the blog is established and has real traction. A job description with such a title will draw your attention since it gives you a reason to get excited. To lean in. To apply.
Which company would you take seriously? The one that puts more effort into creating the job post, right?
Exactly.
If you are ready to build a hiring experience top talent will love, start with WorkScreen.io. When you write a thoughtful, specific job post—and let WorkScreen.io handle the evaluation—you create a hiring process that respects candidates' time and shows them you’re serious.
So… Should You Use AI to create a job post?
The short answer is yes and no.
Tell me if this sounds familiar…
You open ChatGPT and type something like:
“Write a job post for a customer service rep at Dekta Airlines.”
You hit enter, copy the result, and boom—you’re done.
Here’s the problem:
That post might sound polished, but it doesn’t actually say anything about you.
It’s missing your company values. Your culture. Your mission.
And if candidates can’t feel any of that, why should they apply?
Real talk—this is where most people get it wrong.
AI is a tool, not a shortcut. If you rely on it to do all the thinking, you’ll end up with a job post that sounds generic, robotic, and forgettable.
This is the wrong way of using AI.
Here’s the Right Way to Use AI (Without Losing the Human Touch)
- Start with your own words
Grab a notepad or open a word document. Write down what truly matters:
- What makes your company special
- Who you’re really looking for
- Your team culture, values, and work style
- Salary, benefits, perks, and career growth
- Key responsibilities and how to apply
- Then use AI to refine
Once you’ve got the details, then ask ChatGPT (or any tool) to help you polish, shorten, or organize it better. Now it’s using your raw data, not getting ideas from elsewhere. - Final step: Make sure it still sounds like you
Review the draft. Would your team say it that way? Will it make the right kind of person want to apply? If not, tweak it.
That’s the right way to use AI.
Bottom Line
AI can help you write better job posts—but only if you provide the substance.
Don’t hand over the most important part of the hiring process to a tool that knows nothing about your company.
If you want top talent, speak to them like a human.
Let AI do the editing. But you bring the meaning.
Final Thoughts
We didn’t add a 1-click AI job post generator on Workscreen, because it will make it hard for you to attract the right candidates.
At WorkScreen, we care about helping you find the right people, not just filling positions.
We believe the best candidates deserve thoughtful, specific, and human communication from the very first touchpoint: the job post.
So write with care. Be intentional. And if you need help polishing what you’ve written, that’s where AI can help.
But don’t let it take the wheel.
Because the people you’re trying to hire can tell you the difference between a human-written job post and an AI-generated one.
Once you have attracted potential hires, let Workscreen evaluate, score, and rank them so that you can identify and hire the best.
