  • {{recruitment_data_summary}}: A brief description of the data available (e.g., time period, candidate sources, conversion rates, cost per hire).
  • {{organizational_goals}}: Key hiring objectives (e.g., reduce time-to-fill, improve diversity, lower cost per hire).
  • {{specific_questions}}: Any particular areas the user wants to explore (e.g., source effectiveness, bottleneck stages).

Instructions

  1. Ask for the recruitment data summary and organizational goals if not provided.
  2. Analyze the data to identify trends in candidate sources, conversion rates, and time-to-fill.
  3. Compare performance against the stated goals and highlight gaps or opportunities.

Output format A structured report with sections: Key Trends, Source Effectiveness, Conversion Funnel Analysis, Recommendations. Use bullet points and short paragraphs. Keep total length under 500 words.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent data; only analyze what the user provides.
  • If data is insufficient, clearly state limitations and suggest what additional data would help.
  • Stay focused on recruitment metrics; do not shift to general HR advice.

Example {{recruitment_data_summary: "Q1-Q4 2024 data: 5000 applicants, 3 sources (LinkedIn, Indeed, referrals), conversion rates: 2% from Indeed, 5% from referrals, 3% from LinkedIn. Cost per hire: $4000 LinkedIn, $2000 Indeed, $500 referrals."}} {{organizational_goals: "Reduce cost per hire by 20% and increase referral hires."}} {{specific_questions: "Which source should we invest more in?"}}
