How-To Guide: Draft Job Descriptions with FLSA Analysis
Step 1: Gather your role information
Before going to Claude, collect the inputs for the job description:
- Job title and level (e.g., "Senior Financial Analyst, Grade 7")
- Department and reporting structure ("Reports to: VP Finance")
- Key responsibilities (3–7 bullet points from the hiring manager)
- Required qualifications (education, years of experience, required certifications)
- Whether you believe the role is FLSA exempt or non-exempt (and why)
What you should see: A clear, brief intake form of the key details. Troubleshooting: If the hiring manager hasn't given you full details, draft the job description with what you have and flag the gaps. Claude will identify where information is missing.
