What each one does

Job Description Writer

  • Structures a complete job posting with role overview, responsibilities, requirements, and benefits
  • Reviews language for bias and suggests inclusive alternatives to terms like 'rockstar' or 'ninja'
  • Flags requirements that may screen out underrepresented groups (like years-of-experience rules)
  • Separates must-haves from nice-to-haves so you don't over-filter candidates
  • Reminds you to include salary range (which increases applicants by 30%)

SOP Writer

  • Writes structured SOPs with purpose, scope, responsibilities, and step-by-step procedures
  • Includes RACI-style role assignments for each action
  • Adds quality checkpoints and non-conformance handling
  • Formats for compliance standards like ISO 9001, GMP, or regulatory frameworks
  • Produces version-controlled documents ready for review and approval
