Write job postings that actually attract good applicants — in one prompt

**The Problem** You post a job ad. You get 40 applicants in two days — and 38 are completely wrong. Unqualified, wrong trade, or just firing off resumes to every listing. You spend half a day filtering, call three people, hire one, and they're gone in three months. Meanwhile you're still short-staffed. **The Fix: ChatGPT for Smarter Job Posts and Screening Questions** ChatGPT writes job postings targeted to the people you want and creates a three-question pre-screening quiz that filters out bad fits before you read their resume. **What It Is** ChatGPT writes job descriptions in your voice, for your specific trade, that attract qualified candidates and repel casual applicants. Combined with a short screening questionnaire, it drastically reduces time spent filtering. **How to Set It Up (30 minutes)** 1. Open chat.openai.com and paste this prompt: [YOUR PROMPT: Write a job posting for a trade technician position. Company: name in city. Requirements: your minimum requirements (license, years experience, etc). Pay: your pay range. Must include: the biggest reason someone should take this job over another (no nights, newer equipment, company truck, etc.). Also write 3 pre-screening questions that weed out unqualified applicants. Format: Job title, Description (300 words), Requirements, Why Apply, Pre-screening questions.] 2. Replace the details with your specifics. Edit the output. 3. Post on: Indeed, Facebook Jobs, LinkedIn, and local trade Facebook groups. 4. For screening: Add your three pre-screening questions to your application form. **Cost:** Free. $20/month for heavy use. **Real Example: HVAC Company** Denise runs a three-truck HVAC company in Charlotte. She used ChatGPT job posts that specifically called out "no nights, no weekends, company truck provided, $5,000 annual tool allowance." The applicants shifted immediately — she started getting licensed techs with 5+ years experience. Time-to-hire dropped from 6 weeks to 3 weeks. Bad hires cost you money, time, and customer relationships. A better job post and a three-question filter cuts your hiring time in half and improves candidate quality dramatically.
