Prompt quality
Good vs bad AI prompts
Good prompt
You are an HR recruiter at a mid-sized company.
Task: draft a job description for [Job Title].
Context: level [x], team [x], location [x], reports to [x], must-haves [x], nice-to-haves [x], salary range [x], tone [x].
Output: a complete JD with sections, 10 ATS keywords, and a short bias check.
Constraints: use inclusive language, keep sentences short, avoid jargon, do not add legal claims.
Before writing: ask 3–5 clarifying questions.
After writing: list assumptions and anything that should be reviewed.
- Clear role: tells the AI who it is acting as
- Specific task: says exactly what is needed
- Relevant context: gives level, location, scope, and must-haves
- Usable format: asks for structured output
- Guardrails: sets limits and reduces risk
- Clarifying questions: improves quality
Bad prompt

We want someone who is a culture fit and can hit the ground running.
- Too vague, so the result becomes generic
- No context like level, location, or reporting line
- No output format
- No guidance on legal, bias, or tone risks
- No clarifying questions
