Tip #1 - Don't rely on someone else to Craft Job descriptions for you without your input.
It's tempting to just pass it off, but crafting a job description that doesn't meet your needs creates a cascading set of problems that is going to impact your work life. An inaccurate job description attracts the wrong candidates, and their resumes require screening, shortlisting, reference checks, interviewing, - and you may end up hiring the wrong person for the job.
Tip # 2 - AI is your friend!
Go to your favourite AI tool and ask it to write the boilerplate job description for you:

Wrapping it up:
"Find another Bob isn't such a bad request since we have AI to help.
If a hiring manager asks me to "Hire another Bob" I don't sweat it anymore. I use Word Hero to generate the basics. I add any knowledge that I have about the client. Then I ask the client to review and give a nod to the job posting before I post it on Indeed. Done like dinner!
