Why creating a great job listing matters

Step-by-step guide to creating a job listing on Vouch
1. Start with AI or create from scratch
Option 1: Use AI to generate a draft
- Dump your existing listing or prompt: Input your existing job listing, a rough description, or just a few sentences about the role into the AI text field.
- AI Drafting: The AI will generate a draft that you can edit and refine. This feature is perfect for companies with pre-written listings or loose descriptions that need reformatting to appeal to passive candidates.
- Edit and customize: Review the AI-generated draft and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits your needs.
Option 2: Create from scratch using our WYSIWYG editor
- Beautiful and intuitive editor: Use our WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to manually create a job listing. The editor automatically formats the text to make your listing visually appealing.
- Input job details: Add all necessary information about the job, including title, responsibilities, qualifications, and company culture.
- Customise visuals: Enhance your listing with images, modules, and formatting options to highlight key sections.
