Do it yourself

Second choice

A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 15 minutes until you can act on the result.

How to actually do it

Open the full job advert and gather the main duties, required skills, seniority, reporting line, employment type, working pattern, location and sector.
Paste those details into the prompt, along with the existing title if the role already has one.
Ask the chatbot to produce one recommended title and the requested alternatives, with the trade-offs for each.
Compare every suggested title with the actual duties and seniority in the advert, removing any title that implies work, qualifications, location or responsibility the role does not include.
Ask a colleague who understands the role and your recruitment audience to check whether the recommended title is clear, inclusive and recognisable to suitable UK applicants before publishing it.

Prompt

Choose the best title for this UK job advert.

Role details:
- Main duties: [paste the duties]
- Required skills and experience: [paste them]
- Seniority and reporting line: [add details]
- Employment type and working pattern: [add details]
- Location: [add details]
- Sector or industry: [add details]
- Intended applicants: [describe the relevant audience]
- Existing title, if any: [add it]

Suggest one recommended title and up to four alternatives. Prefer titles that are accurate, recognisable to UK jobseekers, specific about seniority, and easy to search for. Do not use inflated wording, unnecessary jargon, coded language, age-related wording or requirements that are not supported by the duties. Explain the trade-offs between the options in plain English. Check that the recommended title matches the role rather than implying a different profession, level or location. Flag any wording that could create a risk of misleading or excluding applicants, but do not give legal advice. Do not invent duties, qualifications, benefits or working arrangements.

Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

Hand it to a person
The distant third
A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

What it gets wrong

AI cannot know which wording your particular candidates use when searching for this type of role unless you provide evidence from your recruitment channels.
AI cannot decide whether an unusual internal title is worth keeping for your organisation's culture or brand.
AI can miss context about reporting lines, professional conventions and informal expectations that are not written in the advert.
AI does not carry responsibility if the title is misleading, exclusionary or inconsistent with the actual job.

Even on a YES, the friction has a name: judgement under ambiguity, context depth and taste.

FAQ

Can AI write a job title?: Yes. Give it the duties, seniority, location and sector, and it can suggest clear titles and explain the trade-offs. Check the recommendation against the actual role before publishing.
Can AI choose the best job title for my advert?: Yes, if you provide enough context about the role and the people you want to attract. There may not be one objectively best title, so compare the options for accuracy, recognisability and the search terms your applicants are likely to use.
Can AI make a job advert title inclusive?: It can flag some unnecessary jargon, coded language and unsupported requirements in a title. It cannot guarantee that the whole recruitment process is fair or legally compliant, and your organisation remains responsible for the advert.
Should I use Textio to write a job advert?: Textio is a purpose-built AI writing guidance tool for job ads and feedback, so it can help identify wording issues as well as suggest improvements. You still need to confirm that the title accurately describes the role and fits your recruitment context.
