1. Job description that attracts
Write a job description for a [ROLE] on my [TEAM]. Focus on outcomes and real day-to-day work, not a wish-list of skills. Add a short, human 'why this role matters' intro.

3. Screen a resume faster

Write a kind, respectful rejection email to a candidate for [ROLE]. Warm, brief, human. Optionally mention one genuine positive.

Tip: An early win in week one builds confidence fast.
6. Job offer message
Help me write an enthusiastic job offer message to [CANDIDATE] for [ROLE]. Convey genuine excitement, the key details ([SALARY/START]), and make them feel wanted.

Help me prepare a fair performance review for [PERSON] in [ROLE]. Wins: [LIST]. Growth areas: [LIST]. Structure it around evidence, impact, and a development plan.
Tip: Evidence over vibes keeps reviews fair.
9. Reference-check questions
Give me 8 reference-check questions for a [ROLE] that get past 'they were great' and surface real strengths, working style, and any watch-outs.
Tip: Ask 'would you hire them again?' and listen to the pause.
10. Handle a sensitive complaint
An employee raised this concern: [SUMMARY]. Help me plan a careful, fair response: how to acknowledge it, what to ask, what to document, and next steps. Neutral and professional.
