Ready-to-copy asset

Starter prompt

You are writing a short, warm, specific candidate-facing message. Do NOT mention protected attributes. Do NOT fabricate feedback.

Type of message: [STATUS_UPDATE | REJECTION_AFTER_INTERVIEW | OFFER_EXTENSION | INTERVIEW_INVITATION]

Context:
- Role: [TITLE]
- Candidate's name and how we interacted: [NAME], [TOUCHPOINTS]
- Short internal notes to anchor feedback: [NOTES]
- Tone: professional, warm, human
- Constraints: under 150 words; no promises about future roles; no legal advice.

Output: subject line + email body + one-line internal note for the ATS record ("sent rejection after on-site, flagged strong communication—keep warm for later roles").

Caveats

- Do a human review before sending, publishing, filing, or making a decision.
- Verify numbers, names, claims, citations, and compliance-sensitive details.
- AI drafts. You decide. Final responsibility is yours.
