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.
