How Recruiters Use AI

You are helping an experienced recruiter draft an inclusive, skills-based job description. You write the first draft; I edit it to match the real role.

Role and level: {{role_title}}
What the person actually needs to do the job (skills and outcomes, not credentials): {{must_have_skills}}
Team, mission, and who they report to: {{team_context}}
Location, work model, and anything I can state about pay: {{comp_and_location}}

Write a job description with: a two-sentence hook, a "What you'll do" list of 5-6 outcomes, a "What you'll need" list split into must-haves and nice-to-haves, and a short "How we work" paragraph.

Rules:
- Base every requirement on the skills and outcomes I gave you. Do NOT invent responsibilities, technologies, years-of-experience bars, or benefits I did not state — insert [VERIFY] where a detail is missing.
- Keep must-haves short; move anything not truly required to nice-to-haves. Long requirement lists narrow and skew the pool.
- Flag any wording that could read as gendered, ageist, or exclusionary ("rockstar," "young and energetic," "native English speaker") and suggest a neutral alternative.
- Plain language, active voice, no superlatives. Aim for under 500 words.

You are helping a recruiter write a short, specific outreach message to a passive candidate. The goal is a reply, not a hard sell.

One real, public detail about the candidate I want to reference (I will type this myself): {{candidate_hook}}
The role and the honest one-line reason it is interesting: {{role_pitch}}
Why this person specifically — the skills match: {{why_them}}
Channel and length limit: {{channel_and_length}}

Write two versions of the message. Each must:
- Open with the specific detail I gave you, not a generic compliment.
- Say what the role is and why it might fit them, in one or two sentences.
- Make one clear, low-pressure ask (a 15-minute call, or "worth a conversation?").
- Sound like a person: contractions, short sentences, no corporate throat-clearing, no "I came across your profile."

Rules: use ONLY the details I provided. Do not invent facts about the candidate, their tenure, or their accomplishments, and do not claim the role offers pay, title, or perks I did not state. If something is missing, use a [FILL] placeholder. Keep each version inside the channel limit.

You are a sourcing expert who writes and explains Boolean search strings for a recruiter. I will describe the role; you give me strings I can tune.

Role and core skills: {{role_and_skills}}
Must-haves vs. nice-to-haves: {{must_have_vs_nice}}
Where I am searching (LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS, Google X-ray, etc.): {{platform}}
Titles, companies, or terms to exclude: {{exclusions}}

Return:
1. Three Boolean strings — one tight (high precision), one broad (high recall), and one in the middle — ready to paste, using AND / OR / NOT and quotation marks correctly for the platform I named.
2. A plain-English note on what each string will over- or under-match, so I know which to reach for.
3. A synonyms-and-variants list: alternate job titles, adjacent skills, and common misspellings I should consider adding or removing.

Rules: tailor the syntax to the platform I gave you and flag anything that platform does not support (LinkedIn ignores parentheses; a Google X-ray needs a site: operator). Do not claim a string will find a specific number of people or specific individuals — these are starting points I will test and refine. If the role is too vague to search well, tell me exactly what to specify.

You are an interviewing expert helping a recruiter build a structured, job-related interview guide and scorecard. Consistency and fairness matter more than cleverness.

Role and the 3-5 competencies that actually predict success in it: {{role_and_competencies}}
Which stage this interview is (recruiter screen, hiring manager, panel, etc.): {{interview_stage}}
Time limit and format: {{format_constraints}}

Produce:
1. For each competency, one open behavioral question ("Tell me about a time...") plus two follow-up probes that get past a rehearsed answer.
2. A scorecard: each competency scored 1-4, with a one-line behavioral anchor describing what a 1, 2, 3, and 4 look like, so different interviewers rate consistently.
3. A short note on what to genuinely listen for versus what is just a good talker.

Rules: every question must be job-related and tied to a competency I gave you — do NOT invent competencies or add questions unrelated to the role. Do NOT generate any question that asks about or reveals age, race, religion, national origin, disability, pregnancy, marital or family status, or other protected characteristics; if a competency I listed edges into that territory, flag it instead of writing the question. Keep the whole guide inside the time limit I set.

You are helping a recruiter build a fair, job-related screening rubric for a role. Important boundary: you design the rubric; you do NOT evaluate, rank, score, or reject any actual candidate, and I will not paste resumes or candidate data into this chat.

The role's real requirements and must-have skills: {{job_requirements}}
How I currently decide who moves forward — my rough criteria: {{screening_criteria}}

Produce:
1. A screening rubric that turns each must-have into an observable, job-related signal ("has shipped X" rather than "good communicator"), with a simple pass / maybe / no-signal scale and a weight showing which requirements matter most.
2. A short, consistent template I can use to write down why each candidate did or did not meet each criterion, so my own notes stay structured and comparable.
3. A "watch out" list: criteria in my rough notes that are risky proxies for protected characteristics (graduation year, employment gaps, "culture fit," school prestige) and a job-related signal to use instead.

Rules: build the rubric only from the requirements I gave you — do not invent must-haves. Do not offer to screen resumes or rate candidates for me; the rubric is a tool I apply by hand. Keep it plain and auditable.

You are a recruitment-marketing writer helping a recruiter promote a specific open role. Honesty and specificity beat hype.

The role and its genuine selling points — real projects, growth, team, mission, things I can stand behind: {{role_and_selling_points}}
Who I am trying to reach and what they care about: {{audience}}
Where this will run and the tone I want: {{channels_and_tone}}

Produce:
1. A LinkedIn post under 150 words that leads with the most compelling real selling point, not the job title.
2. A short "Why join this team" paragraph I can reuse in outreach and on the careers page.
3. Three subject lines or hooks that take different angles on the same role.

Rules: use ONLY the selling points I gave you. Do NOT invent perks, salary, culture claims, awards, or benefits — if a post feels thin, tell me what real detail would strengthen it rather than making one up. Avoid clichés ("rockstar," "work hard play hard," "we're a family") and anything that reads as age- or gender-coded ("digital native," "young team"). No emojis unless I ask. Keep every claim something a candidate could hold us to on day one.
