Recruiters are spending more time than ever on AI tools, yet they're still getting back pipelines that miss the mark. The culprit is usually the prompt — too rigid, too keyword-dependent, too far from how you'd actually describe a great hire to a colleague. 

This guide walks you through how to write prompts that get AI to source the way you think, not just the way a Boolean string searches.

What's inside:

• The AI mindset shift — why describing beats filtering, and how to make the switch across your day-to-day workflows

• Prompting 101, 201, and 301 — foundational to expert techniques, with a clear progression for every skill level

• Before-and-after examples — real prompt examples for sourcing  so you can see exactly what good looks like

• Two-shot prompting — how to teach AI what "good" looks like by giving it examples, and why it dramatically improves output quality

This guide is for recruiters who want to get more from their AI tools and hire faster with better results.
