Weak prompt vs better prompt

Weak: Write a job post for a sales person.

Better: Write a job description for an Inside Sales Executive at a 20-person SaaS company in Pune, 1–3 years' experience, selling to SMEs, with inclusive language.

Role, seniority, company size and location change the responsibilities and tone completely.

Common mistakes

  • Letting AI screen or rank candidates on its own — decisions must stay with people.
  • Copying biased wording (age, gender) — ask the AI to check for inclusive language.
  • Sharing personal candidate data in public AI tools.
