Writing job description **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Phocas M. | Tree Research and Development Senior Specialist , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** Clarity on responsibilities and deliverables: They tend to frame tasks with precision. For example, instead of vague duties like “support analysis,” they’ll suggest “clean and analyze monthly monitoring data to inform program adjustments.” **What do you dislike about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** Nothing, the experience was great. I would recommend without reservation **What problems is Datapeople (by Payscale) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Datapeople helps solve the problem of unclear, inconsistent, and biased job descriptions by offering real-time guidance to write inclusive, structured, and engaging content. This benefits hiring teams by attracting a more diverse and qualified pool of candidates, improving clarity across roles, and saving time through standardized templates and data-backed insights. As a result, managers can make more informed hiring decisions while promoting fairness and consistency throughout the recruitment process. ### 2. Using Data to Influence Internal Teams and Candidates **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in International Trade and Development | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2025 **What do you like best about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** I am a Talent Acquisition Manager for a data minded organization where everyone thinks they have the best solution. It used to take quite a while and lots of back and forth to convince hiring managers to accept our changes to their Job Descriptions. Once we onboarded Datapeople we were able to put hiring managers directly on the platform to see where our suggestions were coming from, and support them with data on the backend. Ther software uses Language AI, paired with industry best practices to identify exclusive language, lack of clarity, corporate cliches, and misaligned job requirements for teams to target while reviewing their jobs. DataPeople does not change the content, but strips back the language to make sure we are able to attract qualified talent, creating an advertisement and not just a lengthy internal JD. It's fairly easy to explain and use, and we have disseminated it to various countries within our organization. Their reps are often helpful, sometimes I wish the back and forth was a bit faster though. **What do you dislike about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** I think DataPeople would be much more useful if we could integrate it into Google Drive systems. I also am not a fan of their chrome plug-in showing up on webpages I do not want it to appear on, with the only option to have it entirely on or off, not to customize where it can appear. I do also think their AI JD writing feature is good for generic jobs, but think it has a distance to go for being able to fill more unique roles in specialty fields. **What problems is Datapeople (by Payscale) solving and how is that benefiting you?** DataPeople helps create faster consensus on finalized Job Descriptions, remove cliches and biased language, and cut down on the fluff that obfuscates the true purpose of the advert. ### 3. The perfect analysis **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** ana m. | Administrativa, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2025 **What do you like best about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** For me, it is a powerful solution and a great improvement in the recruitment process. **What do you dislike about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** Sometimes I need to understand well how it works to make the most of it; for large companies, it would work great. **What problems is Datapeople (by Payscale) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Improve and quality when looking for staff or making an attractive job advertisement ### 4. Great platform with lots of insights **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2025 **What do you like best about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** The insights it can provide are amazing. There is so much to dive into with your team that you can then use to strategize on how to make improvements in multiple areas. It also integrates with our ATS seamlessly which is great for us and saves time. **What do you dislike about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** It's quite set in it's ways in terms of the words you can use in your JD's. It can make getting the JD's to a good score quite a challenge at times. **What problems is Datapeople (by Payscale) solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's allowing us to ensure we are using inclusive language in our JD's. We are also using the insights to analyse our hiring trends and to ensure we are hiring a diverse range of candidates. ### 5. HR AI and recruitment insights - the right way. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2025 **What do you like best about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** The job decription reviews and scores; it has so much impact not only to the hiring process, but also the experience of candidates. **What do you dislike about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** Not much to comment on here, but I use it with an integration with SmartRecruiters and sometimes there might be some small crashes. **What problems is Datapeople (by Payscale) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Job Descriptions were a nightmare - long and duplicated sentences—but DataPeople is our main ally to not only fix that but also understand the impact it has on the candidates that read that, so the mechanics are not only fixing but also educating. Our team's reporting has also improved; the recruiting productivity and gender report bring a new vision on how recruitment teams work. ### 6. DataPeople is a great tool for ensuring our job descriptions are up to date and accurate. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2025 **What do you like best about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** DataPeople is a great tool for ensuring our job descriptions are up to date and accurate. **What do you dislike about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** There are a few times where the score is weak due to verbiage we have to include and outside of our control. **What problems is Datapeople (by Payscale) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ensuring our descriptions are up to date and utilizing the best verbiage to attract candidates. ### 7.

Datapeople was easy to use and had a strong UI. **What do you dislike about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** The template structure/UI did not work well for our team given the amount of templates we would need to store. It would be great to have sub folder templates to better organize templates into functions, locations, etc. **What problems is Datapeople (by Payscale) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helping Hiring Managers create compliant, consistent and inclusive job descriptions. ### 9. Datapeople is intuitive and has high impact outcomes. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2024 **What do you like best about Datapeople (by Payscale)?** Datapeople has created an intuitive platform that is quick and helpful to use.
