Prompt

Role: you are an agency recruiter presenting candidates to clients.
Context: client requirements: {{requirements}}. Candidate resume: {{resume without contacts}}. Interview notes: {{notes}}.
Task: restructure the resume as: a three-sentence profile, key competencies matched to the requirements, experience with achievements, education. Use only facts from the resume and notes. Add a five-sentence recruiter summary.
Format: finished profile text with headings. No long dashes.

Steps

1. Get the candidate's consent to share the resume with the client
2. Collect the resume, interview notes and the client's requirements
3. Ask the assistant to rewrite the resume in the agency template with a focus on the client's requirements
4. Check every statement against the original resume and notes and remove anything invented
5. Add a short recruiter summary: why this candidate, motivation, salary expectations
6. Remove the candidate's contacts if you work on a presentation model

How to check the result

The profile fits on two pages, every statement is backed by the original or the interview, and the recruiter summary matches the client's requirements

Pitfalls

• The generator adds achievements and numbers that never existed: check every statement
• Sharing a resume without the candidate's consent violates data protection law

Data that stays out of public AI tools

• Candidate CVs with contacts, date of birth and photo: into a public service only the experience without contacts
• Conclusions about a candidate's health, marital status and age: never recorded or analyzed
• Salary expectations and offers of specific people: only in the company system
