The recruiter’s AI cheat sheet.

Five prompts to copy

1. Role summary: “From these intake notes, list what this person will do in their first six months and what success looks like. Flag anything unclear.”
2. Job ad: “Write a job ad from this summary for a passive candidate. Lead with what’s different. Australian English, no clichés.”
3. Boolean: “Write a Boolean string for these titles and must-have skills. Exclude recruiters and students. Explain each part.”
4. Outreach: “Rewrite this message in under 80 words, with one specific reason it might suit them and an easy yes/no question.”
5. Interview plan: “Draft five competency-based questions for these requirements, with what a strong answer would cover.”

Privacy checklist

• Is this tool approved by my business for personal information?
• Have I removed names, contact details and anything sensitive?
• Do I know whether this plan uses my content to train models?
• Does our privacy notice tell candidates how we use AI?

Before anything goes to a candidate or client

• Check every fact, date, salary and benefit against what was agreed.
• Look for wording that could put people off unfairly.
• Read it aloud. If it doesn’t sound like you, rewrite it.
• A person makes every hiring decision. AI can help prepare, not decide.
