Short answer. Manual preparation gives better judgment and recall; the tool gives speed, consistency, and a checklist you can audit. Use the tool for triage, then spend the saved time on evidence and rehearsal.
Side by side
| Criterion | Jargon HR | Manual prep |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Minutes per JD; repeatable | 30–90 minutes for a careful first pass |
| Consistency | Same rules every time | Depends on mood, time, and experience |
| Coverage | Hard gates, core, plus, soft, logistics | Easy to miss logistics or a buried gate |
| Judgment | Rule-based; cannot read between every line | Human judgment can catch context and nuance |
| Market facts | Built-in, with source links | Requires separate research |
| Prep plan | Generated, tiered, with a done-when test | Usually ad hoc |
Use Jargon HR when
- You are triaging many JDs
- You want a checklist you can audit
- You keep missing the same kind of requirement
Use Manual prep when
- The role is senior or unusual
- The JD is vague and context matters
- You need a final judgment call
Bottom line
The tool is a forcing function, not a replacement for judgment. If the JD is ambiguous, write down what you would need to ask a recruiter.
手工准备判断更细，但慢且不稳定；工具胜在速度、一致性和可审计的清单。先用工具做初筛，把省下的时间花在证据和演练上。
