Here are my open roles with posting date, target fill date, and candidates at each stage: [paste]. Flag roles at risk of missing their date and explain why. For each, suggest 2 actions (for example, widen the search, reword the post, or follow up with stalled candidates) and draft the post edit or outreach message.

Before you use it: what to check
Already built into this prompt
- Flag roles at risk of missing their date and explain why.
Check yourself
- Don't let AI make the final call on hiring, pay, performance or discipline. Use it to organise information, and have a person decide using criteria you can explain.
- Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
