## Summary
Generate a strategic list of improvements to the recruiting process and candidate identification methods in Gemini in Docs.
## Content
> **Attribution:** Prepared by 6DuckLearn. Inspired by [Google Workspace with Gemini Prompting Guide 101 (2025)](https://workspace.google.com).

## When to use this

You're a recruiter or HR manager who wants to step back and improve how you find, attract, and move candidates through the hiring pipeline — rather than just filling one role, you're optimising the whole process.

## What you'll get

A prioritised list of concrete strategies to improve your recruiting process — covering sourcing channels, candidate experience, interview structure, speed-to-hire, and diversity initiatives — ready to present to your team or HR leadership.

## Prompt template

Use this in **Gemini in Docs**:

```
Create a list of strategies our recruiting team can use to improve our existing recruiting process and identify potential job candidates. Context: we are a [company size]-person company in the [industry] industry, primarily hiring for [role types]. Our current challenges include [challenge 1] and [challenge 2]. Organise suggestions by category (sourcing, candidate experience, process efficiency, diversity) and flag which are quick wins vs. longer-term initiatives.
```

**Fill in the variables:**
- `[company size]` — e.g. "50-person", "500-person", "enterprise"
- `[industry]` — e.g. "SaaS", "healthcare", "retail"
- `[role types]` — e.g. "engineering and design roles", "frontline operations staff", "senior leadership"
- `[challenge 1]`, `[challenge 2]` — e.g. "high drop-off after first interview", "too few diverse candidates in pipeline"

## Customisation tips

- Ask for metrics: *"Include a KPI I should track for each strategy"*
- Prioritise by effort: *"Mark each strategy as Low / Medium / High effort to implement"*
- Focus on a single category: *"Focus only on candidate sourcing for now"*
- Request tool recommendations: *"Note which strategies are enhanced by Google Workspace tools"*

## Iteration suggestions

After Gemini generates the strategy list:
1. **Write the job post** → use `job-description-writer` to put one of these strategies into practice immediately
2. **Build interview structure** → use `interview-screening-questions` to improve the interview stage
