Have ChatGPT rewrite any salon job ad that falls below a 40% open rate on Indeed

who Helen Miller, co-owner with her husband Scott Miller of Scott Miller, a salon, spa and beauty store in Rochester, New York, in Salon Today

What it does

The Millers rewrote their recruiting playbook: a recruiter works 20 hours a week, they stopped advertising jobs locally and now use Indeed and social media, and they answer candidates within 24 hours. They use AI to help write their Indeed job postings and watch each one's open rate; if a posting falls below a 40% open rate, Scott takes the description back to ChatGPT and asks it to make it stronger.

Tool cost

ChatGPT Free $0; Go $8/mo; Plus $20/mo; Pro $100/mo · Indeed job posting costs not checked

Setup

Easy · or we set it up for $197

Tools

ChatGPT, Indeed, Instagram, TikTok

The problem

Local job ads weren't bringing in the stylists and staff the salon needed, and a weak posting can sit unread.

What happened

Per Salon Today, their Indeed postings average a 40% open rate. No hiring numbers are given. Self-reported.

How to set it up yourself

  1. What Scott Miller does: AI helps write each Indeed job ad, and any ad below a 40% open rate goes back to ChatGPT to be made stronger.
  2. Write down what makes your salon a good place to work in plain words: education, pay structure, schedule, culture, and one thing a current stylist would say about it.
  3. Paste that and the role into ChatGPT with the prompt below, then edit the draft so every promise is true.
  4. Post it and check the open (view-to-click) rate in your Indeed dashboard after a week. Pick your own threshold; theirs is 40%.
  5. If an ad falls under it, paste the ad back in, ask for a stronger version with a clearer first line, and answer every applicant within 24 hours, as they do.

Copy-paste prompt

I co-own {SALON NAME}, a {SIZE/TYPE} salon in {CITY}. Write an Indeed job posting for a {ROLE}. What's true about working here: {EDUCATION, PAY STRUCTURE, SCHEDULE, CULTURE, A QUOTE FROM A CURRENT TEAM MEMBER}. Lead with what's in it for the candidate, keep it under 300 words, and end with how to apply and that we reply within 24 hours. Don't invent pay figures or benefits I haven't listed. If I paste an older version below, make it stronger and explain in one line what you changed: {OLD POSTING}
