Write a weekly hiring update for hiring managers
A short, scannable weekly status update on open roles, pipeline, blockers, and the decisions needed from hiring managers.
The prompt
Write my weekly hiring status update.
Audience: [e.g. one hiring manager, a department head, leadership team]
Open roles and status: [for each: role, days open, candidates by stage, interviews this week, offers out]
Wins: [e.g. offers accepted, strong finalists]
Blockers: [e.g. slow feedback, unscheduled interviews, pay band issues, few applicants]
What I need from them: [decisions, feedback, approvals, interview slots - with deadlines]
Format:
1. A subject line that says the main news.
2. Top 3 lines: overall status, the biggest risk, and the decisions I need (deadlines in bold).
3. A table with columns Role | Days open | Pipeline (screen / interview / final / offer) | Next step | Status (On track / At risk / Blocked).
4. Blockers, each with its concrete impact (e.g. "2 finalists have competing offers due Friday" - only if I told you so) and a proposed fix.
5. One sentence on next week's priorities.
Keep it under 250 words excluding the table. Be factual about delays without blaming anyone. Don't invent numbers; use [ADD] for anything missing.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
