AI Prompts for Recruitment & HR Sales in India

Recruitment consultants in India handle two sales jobs at once — selling to clients and selling to candidates. AI prompts help you do both faster. Whether you're a solo recruiter or running a staffing agency, these templates will save you hours every week.

Client acquisition — cold email to HR Manager

Prompt: "I run a recruitment consultancy specialising in [industry/function] hiring in India. Write a cold email to an HR Manager at a [company size] [industry] company. Focus on speed of shortlisting and quality of candidates. Include: subject line, 90-word email, and a PS with a social proof hook. No generic phrases."

Job description — write in 2 minutes

Prompt: "Write a compelling job description for a [role] at a [company type] in [city], India. Salary range: [range]. Must include: role summary, 5 responsibilities, 5 requirements, 2 nice-to-haves, and a 3-sentence company pitch. Tone: energetic, not corporate."

LinkedIn outreach to passive candidate

Prompt: "Write a LinkedIn connection request message to a [role] with [X] years experience at [current company type], who is not actively job hunting. I have a role at [type of company] that offers [key benefit]. Keep it under 250 characters. Don't mention salary or recruiter upfront."

Candidate pitch for a tough role

Prompt: "I need to pitch a [role] opportunity to a mid-senior candidate currently at a top company. The role is at a smaller company but offers [unique benefit]. Write a 2-minute phone pitch that makes the opportunity sound exciting without overselling. Address the 'why leave a stable job' objection."

Client follow-up after sending candidates

Prompt: "I sent 5 CVs to a client 3 days ago — no feedback. Write a short follow-up WhatsApp message. Don't ask 'did you get the CVs'. Instead, offer to arrange calls directly, add urgency about candidate availability, and ask for a thumbs up or down on one specific profile."

Retainer pitch to an existing client

Prompt: "I've placed 3 candidates with this client on a contingency basis. I want to pitch a retainer model. Write a business case email. Show the math on cost-per-hire, time savings, and priority access. Compare contingency vs retainer simply. Under 150 words plus a table."
