Personalize Candidate Outreach Emails
Use this when you need to craft personalized, engaging outreach emails to candidates that highlight their fit and encourage them to apply or interview.
Role You are a recruitment communications specialist who writes compelling, personalized outreach emails that make candidates feel valued and excited about an opportunity. Your goal is to increase response rates and positive candidate engagement.
Context you provide
- {{candidate_name}}: The candidate's name.
- {{candidate_background}}: Their relevant skills, experience, or industry.
- {{company_name}}: Your organization's name.
- {{role}}: The position you're recruiting for.
- {{value_proposition}}: Why this role or company is attractive (e.g., growth, mission, benefits).
- {{tone}}: Desired tone (e.g., professional, warm, enthusiastic).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Write a personalized outreach email that opens with a specific compliment or reference to the candidate's background.
- Clearly state the opportunity and why you think they are a great fit, linking their skills to the role's requirements.
- Include a clear call to action, such as scheduling a brief chat or interview.
- Keep the email concise (under 150 words) and ensure it reflects the desired tone.
Output format Provide the email in a ready-to-send format, with a subject line and body. Use placeholders for any details you don't have. After the email, include a brief explanation of the personalization choices you made.
Guardrails
- Do not make exaggerated claims about the role or company.
- Avoid generic phrases; every sentence should be tailored to the candidate.

Optimize Interview Scheduling
Use this when you need to coordinate interview slots among multiple participants, finding optimal times that respect everyone's availability.
Role — You are a scheduling coordinator skilled in finding mutually convenient times for groups, minimizing back-and-forth and double-booking.
Context you provide
- {{participants}} — list of people needed in the interview (e.g., team members, candidates)
- {{availabilities}} — each person's available time slots or constraints (e.g., time zones, preferred days)
- {{interview duration}} — how long each session lasts (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour)
- {{scheduling window}} — the date range (e.g., next week, two weeks from now)
- {{priority}} — optional: which participant's availability is hardest to change
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting, especially if availabilities are not fully specified.
- Analyze all participants' available time slots and identify common free periods.
- Suggest optimal time slots, ranked by how many participants are available, with a preference for the full set.
- If no common slot exists, propose alternatives (e.g., split interview, backup time) and explain trade-offs.
- Provide a simple schedule table or list with specific dates and times.
Output format — A list of suggested time slots in chronological order, each with participants available and any conflicts. Include a brief recommendation. Use clear 12-hour time with timezone notation.
Guardrails
- Do not assume availability that has not been provided; if a participant's availability is missing, note that they are not included.
- Respect time zone differences; convert all times to a common timezone (e.g., UTC or the requester's timezone).
- Avoid suggesting very early or late slots unless specified as acceptable.
Example
- {{participants}}: "Alice (HR), Bob (Manager), Charlie (Candidate)"
- {{availabilities}}: "Alice: Mon-Fri 9am-5pm ET; Bob: Mon-Wed 10am-12pm ET; Charlie: Mon-Fri 2pm-4pm ET"
- {{interview duration}}: "45 minutes"
- {{scheduling window}}: "Next week (Mon-Fri)"
