## Prompt

```text
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.
