Recruiter resume: example and AI prompt
Recruiters know a weak resume when they see one, so yours gets judged harder. Hiring managers want your desk in numbers: roles filled, time to fill, offer acceptance and pipeline quality. This prompt has your agent write a recruiter resume for agency or in-house roles that reads like a scorecard.
The prompt
- Write my recruiter resume for [COMPANY OR JOB POSTING LINK]. I'm [YOUR NAME] in [CITY]. My recruiting experience: [EMPLOYERS, DATES, AGENCY OR IN-HOUSE, ROLES AND INDUSTRIES YOU HIRE FOR, REQ LOAD]. My numbers: [HIRES PER QUARTER OR YEAR, TIME TO FILL, OFFER ACCEPTANCE, BILLINGS IF AGENCY, DIVERSITY OR QUALITY OF HIRE RESULTS]. Tools: [E.G. GREENHOUSE, LEVER, WORKDAY, LINKEDIN RECRUITER, BOOLEAN SEARCH]. Lead with results, show sourcing and stakeholder skills, use the posting's keywords, one page, ATS-friendly, Word and PDF.
What to change
- [COMPANY OR JOB POSTING LINK]: The agency or company, or the recruiter job link.
- [YOUR NAME]: Your full name.
- [CITY]: City, or "Remote".
- [EMPLOYERS, DATES, AGENCY OR IN-HOUSE, ROLES AND INDUSTRIES YOU HIRE FOR, REQ LOAD]: e.g. "Brightloop (SaaS), 2022–now, in-house technical recruiter, engineering and data roles, 15–20 open reqs".
- [HIRES PER QUARTER OR YEAR, TIME TO FILL, OFFER ACCEPTANCE, BILLINGS IF AGENCY, DIVERSITY OR QUALITY OF HIRE RESULTS]: Whatever you track, e.g. "62 hires in 2024, 38-day time to fill, 91% offer acceptance".
- [E.G. GREENHOUSE, LEVER, WORKDAY, LINKEDIN RECRUITER, BOOLEAN SEARCH]: ATS, sourcing tools, CRM, scheduling and assessment tools.
