Too many job descriptions fall flat. If they’re not walls of text littered with jargon, they’re inconsistent, biased, or missing key details.

That’s a big problem. Because job ads are your first impression. They’re what candidates use to decide if they’ll apply or not.

Luckily, there are many tools you can use to create better job ads.

You can use these tools to automate tedious admin and help you create clear, inclusive, mobile-friendly job descriptions at scale.

Let’s take a closer look at why tools are now essential in modern hiring — and break down the ones that matter most. 👇

Key highlights:

  • AI tools speed up drafting so recruiters aren’t stuck writing from scratch
  • Bias detection tools flag exclusionary language and suggest inclusive alternatives
  • Readability tools cut jargon and make ads easy to scan on mobile
  • SEO tools make sure job opportunities show up where candidates search
  • Compliance tools keep ads legally sound

Why Tools for Job Ads Are Essential for HR Teams?

Here’s the reality: Recruiters are struggling with time.

According to Gem’s 2025 State of Talent Acquisition report, talent leaders say that time-consuming manual admin is their biggest challenge.

And what makes this worse is that 61% cite lack of automation as their biggest tech pain point.

Additionally, bias and jargon can creep into job descriptions without recruiters even realizing it. As a result, ads often exclude entire groups of qualified candidates.

Add in missing details, such as salary ranges or compliance language, and candidates simply scroll past.

And the worst part? Without analytics, recruiters don’t even know why an ad underperforms. They just see fewer applicants.

Thankfully, modern recruitment tools can help improve your workflows by:

  1. Automating workflows so recruiters spend less time drafting and reformatting recruiting communications.
  2. Checking for bias and jargon to make sure every job ad is inclusive and accessible.
  3. Adding structure and compliance automatically so ads include salary, benefits, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) language.
  4. Optimizing for readability and SEO so candidates can skim quickly, especially on mobile.
  5. Tracking performance data so recruiters can see what works, spot drop-off points, and improve over time.
