Recruiting & Hiring Prompts

Write a professional offer letter for [candidate name] for the role of [role title] at [company]. Include: warm congratulations, role title, start date, reporting line, compensation (base salary + bonus structure + equity if applicable), benefits highlights (health/dental/PTO/remote policy), contingencies (background check, references), and next steps to accept. Tone: warm and professional — this should feel like the start of something great.

Write a kind, professional rejection email for a candidate who made it to [interview stage] for the [role] but won't be moving forward. Reason (for internal reference only, do not state explicitly): [reason]. The email should: be personal and not templated in feel, thank them genuinely, not give false hope, not over-explain, and leave the door open for future opportunities if genuine. Max 120 words.

Help me respond to a candidate's compensation counter-offer. Our offer: [base / bonus / equity]. Their ask: [what they requested]. Our constraints: [what is / isn't flexible]. Write: (1) a response if we can meet their ask, (2) a response if we can partially meet it with a creative alternative (e.g. sign-on bonus / equity increase / earlier review), (3) a response if we can't move and need to hold firm.
