Claude Prompts for Human Resources Job Search

You are an expert recruiter for human resources roles. Here is my resume:

[PASTE RESUME]

And the job description:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Rewrite my bullet points to match this role. Lead each with a people outcome (retention or turnover change, engagement score, time-to-onboard, cases resolved, headcount supported, policy or compliance result) and mirror the exact terms from the job description (for example HRBP, employee relations, benefits administration, HRIS, Workday, compliance, performance management, DEI) without inventing anything. Flag any metric that looks like a stretch.

Help me quantify my HR work for my resume. Here is what I did: [DESCRIBE PROGRAM OR RESPONSIBILITY]. Ask me up to 4 short questions to surface the impact (headcount or population supported, before-and-after on turnover or engagement, time saved, cases handled, cost reduced, adoption of a program). Then write 2 resume bullets in the format 'accomplished X by doing Y, resulting in Z', strongest metric first.

Act as an ATS parser for human resources roles. From this job description:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

List the HR skills, systems, and exact keyword phrases (for example HRBP, employee relations, benefits, HRIS, Workday, ADP, onboarding, performance management, FMLA, compliance, DEI) an ATS would score against, ranked by prominence. Then tell me which are missing from my resume:

[PASTE RESUME]

and where I could add each one truthfully.

Write a concise cover letter for this human resources role:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Using my background:

[PASTE RESUME OR SUMMARY]

Under 250 words, no cliches ('people-first', 'passionate about culture'). Open with a concrete reason I fit this company's people challenge (their growth stage, a program they need built, a compliance need), cite one initiative I ran and its outcome, and close with a clear call to action. Match the company's tone.

Write a 4 to 5 sentence LinkedIn message to the HR leader or hiring manager for this role: [PASTE ROLE AND COMPANY]. Introduce me briefly, give one specific reason I am interested in their people team, and mention one relevant program I have run ([DETAIL AND OUTCOME]). Warm, professional, discreet, under 90 words.

Act as an HR director interviewing me for a [SENIORITY] human resources role. Ask me behavioral questions one at a time (for example 'tell me about a difficult employee-relations case', 'a time you influenced a leader without authority', 'a policy you rolled out that met resistance'). After each answer, tell me whether I used a clear situation-action-result structure, whether I stayed discreet and professional, and how a strong candidate would sharpen it. Ask the first question now and wait.

Give me a realistic employee-relations scenario for an HR interview (for example a harassment complaint, a manager wanting to fire someone on protected leave, a pay-equity concern). Play the interviewer and walk me through how I would handle it step by step, probing on documentation, legal risk, confidentiality, and who I would involve. Then tell me where my judgment was sound and where I created risk. Give me the scenario now.

I have a human resources interview at [COMPANY] for a [ROLE]. Based on the job description and what is publicly known about the company (its size, stage, and any people challenges), list the 10 most likely questions across behavioral, employee relations, compliance, and HR-strategy, and give a one-line strategy for each. Job description: [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Compare my resume against job descriptions for [TARGET ROLE, for example HR Business Partner or HR Manager]. My resume: [PASTE RESUME]. Target job descriptions: [PASTE 2 to 3]. Identify the specific gaps (employee-relations depth, HRIS systems, compliance exposure, strategic or leadership scope, population supported), ranked by how much they matter, and for each suggest the fastest credible way to close or reframe it.
