Prioritize my open requisitions and plan my recruiting week
A ranked view of my open roles and a realistic weekly plan that balances sourcing, interviews, and admin.
The prompt
Help me prioritize my open roles and plan my recruiting week.
Open requisitions: [for each: role, hiring manager, days open, business priority, pipeline by stage, next deadline]
Fixed commitments this week: [scheduled interviews, intake meetings, team meetings]
Hours available for recruiting work: [e.g. 35]
Recurring admin: [ATS updates, scheduling, reports]
What's falling behind: [e.g. sourcing for 2 roles, candidate follow-ups]
Do the following:
1. Rank my roles using business impact, urgency, pipeline health (how far each is from an offer), and risk of losing candidates. Show the ranking as a table with the reason for each.
2. Identify the single most important action per role this week (e.g. "get feedback on 3 finalists", "40 targeted outreaches", "reset requirements").
3. Build a day-by-day plan with time blocks: sourcing blocks in the morning, candidate calls, batched admin and scheduling, and a buffer for last-minute interviews.
4. List what to delegate, automate (e.g. scheduling links, templates), or push back on.
5. Draft a short note to a hiring manager if I need to set expectations on a lower-priority role.
Keep the plan realistic for my available hours - don't schedule more than about 80% of them.
