  • Plan a hiring funnel for a role
  • Audit a pipeline for fairness and pace

Skills in this pack

Candidate Outreach Writer

Write outreach messages to passive candidates that actually get replies. Trigger on 'candidate outreach', 'recruit this person', 'passive candidate', 'sourcing message', or when the user is reaching out to a passive candidate.

Hiring Manager Intake Facilitator

Run a structured intake with a hiring manager — scope, must-haves, nice-to-haves, search strategy. Trigger on 'intake call', 'kickoff with hiring manager', 'role intake', 'hiring brief', or when the user is starting a new search.

Recruiting Pipeline Auditor

Audit a recruiting pipeline for fairness, pace, and conversion leaks. Trigger on 'pipeline audit', 'recruiting funnel', 'hiring funnel review', 'why aren't we closing', or when the user wants to assess their recruiting pipeline.

FAQ

What is a Claude skill?

A Claude skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. It tells Claude when to trigger the skill and how to execute the task. Skills live inside your Claude account once uploaded.

Do these work on Free, Pro and Max plans?

Yes, as long as code execution is enabled. On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin needs to enable skills at the organisation level first.

Can I edit the skills?

Yes — the skills are plain markdown files. Open SKILL.md in any editor and change the description, steps, templates, or output format to match how you work.

Do I need all the skills in the pack?

No. Upload only the ones you'll use. Too many active skills makes Claude less precise about which one to pick.
