Step 1 of 8
Define the hiring system requirements
Requirements for the jobs, candidates, and hiring stages the system tracks.

Workflow
AI Product Requirements Workflow
Turn a fuzzy business need into requirements a team can build from — interrogate the need into concrete requirements, shape them as user stories, and write the PRD.
Resource
Product Requirements Assistant
Turn a rough feature idea into a structured requirement: problem statement, acceptance criteria, and what's explicitly out of scope.
Tool
System Prompt Generator
Build structured system prompts from role, tone, constraints, and model target.
Step 2 of 8
Model jobs, candidates, and pipeline stages
A jobs/candidates/applications/stages schema fit to the hiring process.

Workflow
AI Database Design Workflow
Design a schema on its data, not a hunch — model the entities and relationships, set the constraints that protect integrity, plan indexes around real queries, then document the schema and migration.
Resource
Schema Design & ERD Prompt — Entities, Relationships, and Keys
Turn product requirements and key entities into an ERD-ready schema spec: tables, fields, primary and foreign keys, relationships with cardinality, indexes, and constraints — with the modeling gaps named as open questions.
Tool
SQL Optimization Prompt
Build evidence-based SQL optimization prompts — goal, platform, and the evidence you have turn into a query tuning contract.
Step 3 of 8
Generate job descriptions and screening prompts
Reusable job-description and candidate-screening prompts.

Workflow
AI Hiring Workflow
Run hiring the same way for every role — build a reusable job-description template, lay out a consistent screening sequence, and extract structured data from resumes instead of eyeballing each one.
Resource
Job Description Variable Builder
Documents variables in job description prompt templates — role title, seniority, responsibilities, required skills, benefits, location, and hiring process.
Tool
Prompt Variable Builder
Turn any plain prompt into a reusable, variable-based template — auto-detect values and export.
Step 4 of 8
Parse résumés into structured data
Structured candidate data extracted from résumés.

Workflow
AI Data Extraction Workflow
Turn messy text into structured data you can trust enough to feed another system — bound the source, extract the fields, force clean JSON, and validate before it flows downstream.
Resource
Extract Resume Information with AI
Candidate name, current role, years, skills, education — résumés into consistent screening records, with inference kept on a short leash.
Tool
Extraction Prompt Generator
Build prompts that extract defined fields from unstructured text — emails, invoices, tickets, résumés.
Step 5 of 8
Design the hiring API and actions
An API contract for the hiring workflow's actions.

Workflow
AI API Design Workflow
Design an API on its contract instead of discovering it endpoint by endpoint — model the resources, design the endpoints and payloads, pin the contract, then review it before code locks it in.
Resource
Turn a JSON Schema into a Prompt
You have the schema — fields, types, requirements. The translation into a prompt the model actually follows: schema lines, realistic example, and validation rules.
Tool
JSON Output Prompt Builder
Build prompts that return structured data — JSON first, with YAML, XML, and CSV modes — parseable every time.
Step 6 of 8
Define roles and access control
Roles and permissions for hiring data and decisions.

Workflow
AI Auth & Identity Workflow
Design access control before you build it, not after a breach — choose the authentication approach, model the roles and permissions, review the design for gaps, then document the identity model.
Resource
RBAC Design Prompt
Design a role model that scales — roles derived from real permissions, the role-permission mapping, and the inheritance and edge cases before you hardcode 'isAdmin'.
Tool
Multi-Step Prompt Builder
Break a big goal into a sequential prompt workflow — each step with an objective, prompt, and expected output.
Step 7 of 8
Review security and candidate-data handling
Access control and candidate-data handling reviewed for vulnerabilities.

Workflow
AI Security Review Workflow
Review code for what an attacker would do, not just what tests catch — anchor the model as a security engineer, run a threat-focused review, then back the findings with auth and input tests.
Resource
Security Code Review Prompt
Twelve security checks — injection, auth, secrets, SSRF, privilege escalation — reviewed the way an attacker would read the code.
Tool
Code Review Prompt Generator
Generate code review prompts for any scope — snippet, file, diff, or full pull request — with focused review rules.
Step 8 of 8
Prepare the release
The ATS shipped with a rollback path and launch checks.

Workflow
AI Deployment & Release Workflow
Cross the gap between 'tests pass' and 'safe in production' — assess release readiness, plan the deploy and its rollback, and set up the monitoring and launch checks before you ship, not after.
Resource
Production Readiness Review Prompt
SHIP or DO NOT SHIP: twelve checks on failure modes, observability, rollback, and load — the review that happens before the incident.
Tool
Markdown Output Builder
Build prompts that produce documents in a fixed structure — headings, sections, and tables.
