  • {{industry}}: the sector you operate in.
  • {{current_strategy}}: a brief summary of your existing recruitment approach.
  • {{challenges}}: specific pain points (e.g., low applicant quality, slow hiring).
  • {{goals}}: what you want to improve (e.g., time-to-hire, diversity, cost-per-hire).

Guardrails

  • Ensure recommendations are practical and tailored to the user's context, not generic advice.

Example
