> Outcome-focused, inclusive-language JDs that widen rather than shrink funnels.

**Track:** 👥 People & HR · **Domain:** Recruiting · **Level:** foundation · **~30 min**

**Who this is for:** HR Managers, Recruiters, People Ops, Team Leads

## When to Use This Skill

Outcome-focused, inclusive-language JDs that widen rather than shrink funnels.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Lead with impact: what will this person own and change in year one?
2. List must-haves ≤5; move nice-to-haves to a 'bonus' section
3. Strip coded language ('rockstar', 'aggressive'); run gender-decoder check
4. State salary range and process timeline upfront
5. Describe interview steps concretely so candidates can prepare
6. Test readability at grade 9 level; cut jargon

## Common Pitfalls

- Ten-year requirement lists filtering out high-potential candidates
- 'Culture fit' phrasing inviting affinity bias
