How do I write job descriptions for better AI Recruiter interviews?

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Structure job descriptions in your ATS so Whippy AI Recruiter can generate stronger automated interviews and evaluate candidates more consistently.

Before you start

  • Open the job description in your ATS, such as TempWorks, Avionté, Aqore, or Crelate.

  • Separate true minimum requirements from preferred qualifications.

  • Use consistent formatting across roles.

Steps

  1. Add the role title, location, and employment type.

  2. Write a job summary focused on responsibilities, work environment, and role context.

  3. List non-negotiable qualifications under Must Have.

  4. List helpful but nonessential qualifications under Preferred.

  5. Add optional pre-screening questions when you want the AI to prioritize specific requirements early in the interview.

  6. Make sure every pre-screening question maps directly to a listed requirement.

  7. Save the job description in your ATS so Whippy AI Recruiter can use it for interview generation.

Tips

  • Treat the ATS job description as structured input for AI, not just a job post.

  • Keep Must Have criteria limited to true deal-breakers.

  • Use measurable criteria such as licenses, years of experience, schedules, and availability.

  • Avoid burying requirements inside paragraphs.

  • Include working conditions such as schedules, environment, and physical demands.

  • Keep formatting consistent across roles for better AI performance.

Troubleshooting

  • If the AI asks generic questions, rewrite vague or buried requirements into clear sections.

  • If qualified candidates are rejected, move nonessential requirements from Must Have to Preferred.

  • If the AI misses key qualifications, move them from the job summary into Key Requirements.

  • If interviews are inconsistent across roles, standardize the job description structure.
