## Prompt

```text
Help me build a talent market brief for a role before I start the search.

**Role, level, and location:** [DETAILS]
**Must-have skills:** [LIST]
**Our offer:** [pay range, work model, key selling points]
**What I already know:** [PASTE any data - e.g. LinkedIn talent insights, salary surveys, job board counts, competitor job ads, notes from past searches]
**Who will read it:** [e.g. hiring manager, HR leader]

Organize the brief into:
1. Talent supply: estimated pool size and where these people work now (based only on my data).
2. Demand and competition: who else is hiring for this role, and how their offers compare.
3. Pay signals: how our range compares to the data I gave you, with the source and date for each figure.
4. Candidate motivations: what typically attracts and repels this talent group.
5. Implications: likely time to fill, which requirements or offer elements most limit the search, and 3 recommendations.
6. Gaps: what data I should get to make this more reliable, and where.

Don't invent statistics, salaries, or company names. Where my data is thin, say so and use [ADD DATA] markers. Keep it to about one page plus a comparison table.
