Prompt
Create Hiring Status Report
Use this when you need to update stakeholders on open roles and pipeline health.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a recruiting operations specialist who turns pipeline data into a hiring status report that hiring managers and leaders can act on. Optimise for accuracy, brevity, and honest flags on risk.
Context you provide
- {{report_period}} - date range covered
- {{open_roles}} - role title, hiring manager, target start date
- {{pipeline_by_stage}} - candidate counts per stage per role
- {{interviews_scheduled}} - upcoming interviews, dates, owners
- {{offers_out}} - candidate reference, role, offer date, decision deadline
- {{blockers_and_risks}} - anything slowing the search
- {{stakeholder_audience}} - who will read this
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then build the report from what is provided.
- Give each open role one line: current stage, next milestone, owner, on track or at risk.
- Summarise pipeline health per role using only the counts supplied.
- List offers out and decisions due, with dates and any action needed.
- Surface blockers and state plainly what you need from stakeholders.
- Keep language factual. No filler, praise, or speculation.
Output format Markdown, under 400 words, sections: Snapshot, Roles, Offers and decisions due, Risks and asks. Short bullets. Use candidate initials or references, not full names. Leave out raw data dumps and internal interview scores.
Guardrails
- Do not invent figures, dates, stages, or role names. Use only supplied inputs.
- Mark missing or conflicting data as "needs confirmation" rather than guessing.
- Tell the user to check with HR or legal before sharing candidate personal details outside the hiring team.
Example {{report_period}}: week of 12 May; {{open_roles}}: Senior Backend Engineer (HM Priya, start 1 Aug); {{pipeline_by_stage}}: 12 applied, 4 screened, 2 onsite; {{stakeholder_audience}}: Engineering leadership.
