A job description generator with an inclusive-language check
This free job description generator starts from a library of 40 roles — from software engineer to chef de partie, recruiter to primary school teacher — at five seniority levels, and lays the ad out the way candidates read it: about the role, what you will do, what you need, nice to have, what we offer, about the company, equal opportunity and how to apply.
As you edit, it checks the wording: masculine-coded words from published research, gendered terms, age-coded and ableist phrases, jargon such as “rockstar”, the number of must-haves, reading ease and length. It also shows what the law where the job is says about pay in job ads, with the source and date. Export to PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML or plain text; drafts stay in your browser.

- Enter the pay range and benefits.

Gendered wording: what the research found
In five studies, Gaucher, Friesen and Kay (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2011) found that ads for male-dominated jobs used more masculine-coded, “agentic” words such as competitive, dominant and assertive. Women rated masculine-worded ads as less appealing and expected to belong less, while their view of their own skills did not change; men were barely affected. A 2025 field study in PNAS (He and Kang) found that swapping such words for neutral ones increased applications from women.
This checker uses its own list of personality and style words from the paper’s agentic category and deliberately skips task words such as “lead a team” or “analyse data”. Communal words (supportive, kind, together) are counted, not flagged: the authors themselves cautioned against simply making ads “feminine”, so the aim is balance.
Requirements, age and disability
- Must-haves. LinkedIn’s Gender Insights report (March 2019) found women apply to 20% fewer jobs than men but are 16% more likely to be hired when they do; in a 2024 Management Science study (Coffman, Collis and Kulkarni), stating the required threshold clearly raised the share of qualified women applying. The checker warns above six must-haves.
- Age. US regulations name “young”, “recent college graduate” and “age 25 to 35” as wording that breaks the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (29 CFR 1625.4); Acas gives “recent graduate” as an example of indirect age discrimination in the UK.
- Disability. The EEOC asks employers to describe the result of a task — “move packages” — rather than how it is done, such as “lift and carry”; GOV.UK says to require a driving licence only when driving is part of the job.
Pay transparency on 14 October 2026 (a summary, not legal advice)
| Where the job is | What the posting needs |
|---|---|
| India | Nothing; the Code on Wages, 2019, s.3 bans gender discrimination in pay and recruitment |
| California, Colorado, Illinois, Washington and other US states | A good-faith pay range; several also a benefits description (Colorado: the application deadline too) |
| New York State and New York City | Minimum and maximum pay; no open-ended “from …” figures |
| European Union | Starting pay or range before the interview; national laws were due 7 June 2026 and many are still drafts |
| United Kingdom | Nothing yet; a consultation closing 27 October 2026 proposes it |
| Ontario | A range no wider than $50,000, from 1 January 2026 |
Worked example
The example — a mid-level Data Analyst at Northwind Retail in Bengaluru — runs to 258 words, scores 65.1 for reading ease across 22 sentences and bullets, and has no language flags. Type “We want an aggressive, young rockstar who can hit the ground running” into the summary and four flags appear: aggressive (masculine-coded, try “proactive”), young (age-coded), and rockstar and hit the ground running (jargon). Switch the location to Colorado and the pay reminder asks for an application deadline; add one and “Apply by …” appears in the ad. Candidates can then match their resume with the ATS resume checker and write a cover letter; once you hire, the offer letter generator takes over.
Job Description Generator FAQ
How do I write a job description?
Start with a plain title, a two-sentence summary, five or six responsibilities, a short list of real must-haves, nice-to-haves, pay and benefits, and how to apply. This job description generator gives you that structure and a role template to edit.
What are gender-coded words in a job ad?
Words tied to masculine or feminine stereotypes. Gaucher, Friesen and Kay (2011) found ads heavy in masculine-coded words such as “competitive” or “dominant” put women off. Use neutral wording where it says the same thing.
Do I have to include a salary range?
It depends on where the job is. Many US states and cities, British Columbia, Ontario and, as each country legislates, the EU require pay information; India, the UK and Australia don’t. The reminder shows the rule and its source.
How many requirements should a job ad list?
Only what is needed on day one — usually four to six. Move the rest to “Nice to have”.
Is “competitive salary” flagged?
No. “Competitive” is flagged as a personality word (“a competitive self-starter”), not when it describes pay or benefits.
Is my job description stored anywhere?
Only in your browser, if you save a draft. Nothing is uploaded, and the optional AI polish runs on your device.
