New Claude Skills For Recruiters
I released and open-sourced a Claude skill on GitHub that makes recruiters dramatically more productive; from analyzing job requirements to writing personalized outreach.
As a part of the workshop that I just finished with a group of recruiters, I released and open-sourced a skill on GitHub for Claude. Recruiters can use it to be much more productive.
Video walkthrough
The new skills
You'll import six specialized skills to your Claude project, each skill triggered naturally in conversation.
Job Requirement Analysis
Analyzing hiring managers' requirements is hard, especially if a recruiter doesn't know much about the specific domain. This skill walks you through a structured 18-dimension analysis of a role before you start sourcing.
Candidate ICP Builder
Turns a job description into a weighted scoring rubric — must-have, important, and nice-to-have — so you know exactly what a great candidate looks like before you start reviewing profiles.
Job Seller
Identifies what's exciting about a role, rewrites boring job ads into compelling ones, and generates outreach hooks that actually get responses.
Sourcing Strategy Generator
Creates Boolean search strings, Google X-ray searches, and a full channel checklist, so you know not just where to look, but exactly how to search.
Candidate Screener
Scores candidates against your rubric with evidence, ranks batches, and writes hiring manager briefings. You'll spend less time on admin and more time on conversations.
Outreach Writer
Writes personalized LinkedIn, email, and X messages with A/B variants and follow-up sequences tailored to the candidate and the role.
Why is this important
Most recruiters use AI the basic way: they chat with ChatGPT or Gemini which, according to my AI adoption ladder, is just the first level (after No AI use).
During my workshops I teach recruiters how to systemize and automate their activities and processes. Using Claude Skills, Gemini Gems, or CustomGPTs is one of the ways how to level up.
These new Claude skills will help you shift from CHATTING to SYSTEMIZING.
Trained skills
These skills include the best-practices from my recruiting practice and insights from my training programs at the Tech Recruitment Academy where over 5,000 recruiters purchased my mind maps and 20,000 HR and TA managers joined my online courses.
You can see some of the mind maps in the GitHub repository in the resources section of those skills.
How to use them
Download the skills from GitHub and import them into Claude. A detailed guide is in the repository on how to do this. Once installed, just talk to Claude naturally:
- 1.
“Here's a job description, analyze the requirements”— triggers Job Requirement Analysis - 2.
“Build me a scoring rubric for this role”— triggers ICP Builder - 3.
“Make this job ad more appealing”— triggers Job Seller - 4.
“Where should I find candidates for this role?”— triggers Sourcing Strategy Generator - 5.
“Score this candidate against our rubric: [paste profile]”— triggers Candidate Screener - 6.
“Write outreach for this candidate”— triggers Outreach Writer
This feels like magic, but it's not. Hope you'll find it useful, let me know what you think. And if you need help using it, join my upcoming workshop:
