Craft the Perfect Job Listing with AI: Tips & Tricks with CIFA Careers

In today’s competitive job market, writing an effective job description is more than just listing responsibilities — it’s about standing out, attracting the right talent, and streamlining your recruitment process. That’s where AI meets recruitment — and where CIFA Careers comes in.

Why the Job Description Matters

A well-crafted job description isn’t just a formality. It’s your first impression. It determines whether top-tier candidates apply, whether you're compliant with hiring standards, and whether the right talent finds the right opportunity.

Unfortunately, many employers still struggle with vague job listings, unclear expectations, and missed opportunities. But the good news? AI can help.

What Makes a Great Job Description? (And What to Avoid)

Even with AI assistance, it’s important to understand what makes a job listing effective. Whether you're hiring an investment analyst, ESG consultant, accountant, or financial planner, these do’s and don’ts apply across the board.

✅ Do:

• Use clear, specific job titles (e.g. "Graduate Investment Analyst – ESG Focus" rather than "Finance Role") 
• Mention the salary range — this improves transparency and application quality 
• List key responsibilities in bullet points, making it easy to scan 
• Highlight benefits — flexible working, CPD sponsorship, progression opportunities 
• Include keywords that your ideal candidate might search for: graduate finance role, CPD-accredited, London-based investment job, remote ESG position, etc. 
• Structure the listing logically: start with an engaging intro, then list responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, and application process 

❌ Don’t:

• Avoid generic buzzwords like "go-getter" or "rockstar" — they lack substance 
• Don’t omit location or salary — this causes confusion and discourages top applicants 
• Avoid huge paragraphs — they make listings hard to read, especially on mobile 
• Don’t forget about diversity and inclusion language — candidates value inclusive workplaces
