5 Ways to Improve Your Life Science Job Adverts with AI

As recruiters and hiring managers in the life science industry, producing well-crafted job adverts is vital to standing out in a competitive job market and improving your hiring success. Your job adverts should sell the key benefits and unique opportunities presented by your role, whilst also communicating your company’s values, culture, and expectations.

Getting your job adverts right can be a time-consuming process, but there are tools out there to give you a helping hand. Enter AI. In this article, we’ve provided 5 ways of improving your job adverts with AI, with practical advice and prompts to ensure you’re reaching the right audience, showcasing your employer brand, and positioning your organisation as an employer of choice.

Optimise Keywords with Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of AI that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. It enables machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language naturally. In the context of producing effective job adverts, if the language you use doesn’t align with what candidates are searching for, you’ll find it challenging to reach your intended audience. This is where NLP comes in.

By utilising AI-powered NLP algorithms, which are capable of processing large amounts of text data and understanding the context behind it, you can analyse job descriptions and identify relevant keywords and phrases that candidates often use in their job searches. You can incorporate these keywords and phrases into your job adverts, improving the visibility of your roles in search engines.

Define Candidate Requirements

AI can also help you to identify candidate requirements by analysing job descriptions and understanding the context and expectations of a specific role. By leveraging NLP and machine learning algorithms, AI systems can extract relevant information from job descriptions, such as required skills, qualifications, and experience, to create a comprehensive understanding of candidate requirements.

Once you’ve defined your list of essential and desirable candidate requirements, you can use this information to target your job adverts effectively, helping you to filter out irrelevant candidates and ensure you’re focusing your resources on qualified candidates.

Craft Engaging Job Titles with Generative AI

Generative AI can be used to craft engaging job titles that resonate with your target audience. You can input job posting details, and then ask the AI tool to generate various title options that match the content. Generative AI platforms such as copy.ai even allow you to create content that aligns with your brand voice, allowing you to create engaging content that reflects your personal/organisational brand.

As well as creating job titles from scratch, you can also use AI to optimise the titles you already have. You could ask it to make your job titles more SEO-friendly, more concise, and more inclusive of your pre-defined keywords.

Turn Your Job Descriptions into Job Adverts

When it comes to your job adverts, you need to do more than simply copy and pasting the content of your job description. Whilst your job description is a detailed document that outlines the specific duties and responsibilities of a role, your job advert should be used as a marketing tool to engage your target audience of candidates.

You can copy and paste your job description into ChatGPT or an alternative generative AI platform and ask it to transform this into a job advert. You can ask generative AI to create an advert in line with your brand voice and to optimise your advert for a specific platform such as LinkedIn. If you’ve already defined your keywords and candidate requirements, you can also input this information to generate a targeted advert that will reach your intended audience.

Scan For Unconscious Bias and Discriminative Language

AI tools have the potential to address unconscious bias in job adverts and descriptions by analysing the text and identifying any instances of gender, racial, or other biased language. They can then propose alternative, more neutral wording to ensure that your job adverts are inclusive and that they attract a diverse range of candidates. For this to work effectively, you must do your due diligence and ensure that the data the AI tool has been trained on is free from bias itself, others your efforts and preventing discrimination in your job adverts could have the reverse effect.

Ensure Your Adverts are Representative of Your Employer Brand…

Leveraging AI tools can significantly enhance your recruitment advertising efforts and improve the effectiveness of your job adverts. However, it’s important to remember that these tools are meant to assist rather than replace human involvement.

Whilst AI can provide valuable insights and suggestions, it’s crucial to exercise vigilance and ensure that all content you push out online aligns with your employer brand and company voice. Maintaining a consistent and authentic brand image and voice will help you to attract the right candidates and build a solid reputation as an employer of choice, both of which will help you to stay ahead of your competitors when it comes to attracting the best talent in the industry.
