AI prompts for HR and recruiting: from job ad to first day

Hiring and managing people involves a lot of writing: job ads, interview questions, onboarding plans and feedback. AI helps you write them clearly and inclusively, so you can focus on the people rather than the paperwork.

3 prompts you can copy

Job ad: Write a job ad for the position [job title] at [business]. Tasks: [tasks], requirements: [requirements], what we offer: [benefits, salary range if any], location and hours: [details], how to apply and deadline: [details]. Inclusive language, scannable, max [number] words.

Interview questions: Create [number] interview questions for the role [job title]. Key skills: [skills], typical challenges in the job: [challenges]. Mix behavioural questions, practical scenario questions and questions about motivation. Add what a good answer should include.

Reply to an applicant who was not selected: Write a kind and respectful email to [applicant name] who applied for [position] and was not selected [after interview/at the application stage]. Thank them, keep it brief, and if appropriate mention: [personal note]. No detailed reasons.

Replace everything in [brackets] with your own details, paste the prompt into your chatbot and read the answer before you use it.

How to get better answers

Do not paste sensitive personal data about applicants or employees into the AI. Use roles and anonymised summaries, and check anything that touches employment rules with a professional.

Ask for two or three versions and pick the one that sounds most like you. Tell the AI what to change: shorter, warmer, more formal.
