Featuring a proven outreach prompt from ProPrompt, it’s your shortcut to better connections, faster workflows, and smarter sourcing—without losing the human touch.
I’ve worked with some truly brilliant recruiters. They know how to manage complexity, build trust with hiring managers, and guide candidates through messy processes with empathy and precision. But even the best recruiters are still buried in admin-heavy workflows that haven’t kept pace with the rest of our industry. We’re not talking about a skills gap. We’re talking about a workflow gap. A time gap. A headspace gap.
What Prompting Does Differently
New tech launches weekly. AI tools keep shifting. Platforms update. Features disappear or change names. Everyone’s scrambling to keep up, constantly learning, testing, and adapting – and honestly, it can be exhausting.
Prompts are the one thing that stays useful across everything. You can use them inside bots, Copilot, AI agents, ATS plugins, workflow tools, content generators, even code. I’ve used the same core prompt across five different platforms to generate candidate insights, create process improvements, or build smarter automation. It’s not about the tool, it’s about how you talk to it.
A well-crafted prompt gives structure to your thinking and takes the pressure off the blank page. It doesn’t take away your expertise, it amplifies it. It lets you start from 70% instead of zero. You’re still the one making the judgment calls, but the process becomes smoother, more consistent, and faster.
A Prompt I Personally Use
One of the prompts I come back to again and again is this one for writing warm, personalised outreach messages to candidates. It’s designed to work across industries, seniorities, and platforms. Whether you’re working through LinkedIn, your ATS, or even integrating it into an AI assistant, this prompt helps you write an email that actually sounds like you and invites a real conversation. It’s professional, human, and gives the candidate a reason to connect.
Use it to introduce your company’s values, acknowledge the candidate’s experience, and open the door to a confidential, respectful conversation about what might be next. I’ve used it dozens of times and it works each time.
