Recruitment AI prompts

I'm {{your_name}}, a {{your_background}} — either applying for roles or offering {{service_if_freelance}}. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — recruiters, hiring managers, or companies to reach. For each, name the exact role or opportunity and where I found it, establish credibility with one quantified achievement or a specific compliment about them, and make a soft, deferential ask to talk — attaching or linking proof ([[resume_or_portfolio]]) rather than pasting it. Draft a 2-touch sequence.

Verify addresses, then set it up in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's to-recruiter templates (8, applicant and freelancer self-pitches): name the role + source → credibility → "I'd love to schedule a call." Real lines: "Hope you don't mind me reaching out to you directly.", "Shall we connect?", subject "[[your name]] – Director of Marketing."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm {{your_name}}, applying to {{program_or_role}} at {{institution_or_company}}, due {{deadline}}.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — former managers or professors who could write a letter. For each, open by recalling our specific shared history and its impact on my path, make the ask with materials offered, and give the deadline and submission link — always with an explicit face-saving out. Put my name in the subject, since they may not have me saved. Sequence it as request → deadline follow-up → thank-you.

Verify addresses, then set it up in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's recommendation templates: recall shared history → ask + offer materials → deadline + link + opt-out. Real lines: "I took your [[course name]] in [[semester/year]]…", "Would this be possible for you?", subject "Recommendation request, deadline [[date]]."

I'm {{your_name}}, applying for {{role_type}} roles.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — former managers and colleagues I'd ask to be references. For each, open warmly by naming our specific shared work ([[specific project]]), make the ask, promise to prep them and that there'll be no surprise calls, and close on a soft permission question. Build the natural sequence the templates already form: the ask, a gentle follow-up for non-responders, a prep brief once they agree, and a thank-you after. One ask per email, always an easy out.

Verify addresses, then set it up in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's reference-request templates: warm opener → tie to a shared project → offer to prep + no surprise calls → "Would you be comfortable with that?" The six templates form a ready-made ask → follow-up → prep → thank-you sequence.

I run {{your_agency}} and I place {{roles_you_fill}}.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — companies that look like they're hiring.

For each, open on a real hiring trigger (an open req, a recent raise, a growing team), establish credibility with marquee client names and hard placement stats ([[quota attainment %]], [[average tenure]]) or by naming a specific pre-screened candidate I can tease, and make a concrete time-boxed call ask. Draft a 2-touch sequence, under 100 words each.

Verify addresses and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's business-development templates (9 of them): "saw you're hiring X" trigger → marquee logos + placement stats → specific-time ask. Real lines: "2 candidates for [[position]]", "Would you be open to a call tomorrow at 2:30 PM Eastern?", "Let's build your A-team."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm hiring a {{job_title}} at {{your_company}} and need to close out candidates I'm not advancing.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — the candidates to decline.

For each, draft a warm, specific note tuned to {{stage_eg_application_post_interview_finalist_or_internal}}: thank them, deliver the "no" plainly and attribute it to fit or more direct experience (not a failing), add one genuine piece of praise, and leave an honest door open — scale the warmth with how far they got (finalists and internal applicants get a real "let's stay connected"; early-stage gets a sincere "watch for openings").

Verify addresses, then set it up in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's rejection templates: acknowledge → plain "no" framed as fit → specific praise → forward-looking open door. Real lines: "That's the deciding factor, not a reflection of your potential…", subject "Your [[job title]] application at [[company]]: next time."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm hiring a {{job_title}} at {{your_company}} and moving my shortlist forward.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — the shortlisted candidates.

For each, draft the invitation for the {{stage}} I specify, as a logistics-first email: a brief warm line, then a clean block — date, time with timezone, duration, format, link or full address, and who they'll meet — then a short "what to expect / how to prep" note, then a confirm-or-reschedule ask. Cover phone screen, video, panel, in-person, final round, or a take-home assessment (which swaps the CTA for a submission instruction and deadline).

Verify addresses, then set the invites up in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's interview-invitation templates: logistics block → prep note → "Please confirm this time works, or suggest an alternative." The set escalates by stage (phone → video → panel → in-person → final) plus an assessment variant with a submission CTA.

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm hiring a {{job_title}} at {{your_company}}.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — candidates I've sourced.

For each, open with a specific, genuine hook that proves I looked ({{personalization_source_eg_their_blog_github_portfolio_or_a_mutual_connection}}), pivot to the role framed as a strong fit or a step up, and make a soft, low-friction ask — open to a brief chat this week. Keep {{first_name}} and {{company}} as merge fields; leave the role and my details as [[author fill-ins]].

Draft a 2-touch sequence (opener, then one light re-engagement for non-responders — "is now a better time?"), verify addresses, and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's open-role templates (14 of them, the category's largest cluster): flattery/observation hook → role as high-fit → soft "up for a chat?" Real openers: "I came across your Medium post…", "Just saw your Instagram videos of your last skiing trip.", "You probably get this often, but your background caught my eye."
