Run your hiring from Claude or ChatGPT

A hiring week, prompt by prompt.

Here are six things you might type to Claude or ChatGPT over a week of hiring, in the order they tend to come up. Each one shows what happens in Yardstick, and where your AI agent stops and asks you first.

1. 1. Monday

   Where does hiring stand?

   You type

   Where does hiring stand this week? For each open role, how many people are in each stage, and who has been sitting in a stage for more than a week?

   What happens

   Your AI agent has Yardstick list your open jobs and the applications in each stage, then reads the pipeline and stale-candidate summaries. It answers role by role, with links back into Yardstick.

   This one only reads, so nothing in Yardstick changes.

2. 2. A new role

   The interview guide for this role

   You type

   We're hiring our first customer success manager. In year one they own renewals on about 40 mid-market accounts and report to me. Create the job and draft the interview plan.

   What happens

   Your AI agent creates the job and has Yardstick draft the role outcomes, the results this person should deliver in the job. It shows you those outcomes and asks if they are right.

   Once you confirm them, Yardstick drafts the rest of the interview guide. You get the rounds, the questions for each interviewer, and a written description of what each score means, all built from what you said the role is for.

   The draft lives in Yardstick, and you or your AI agent can change any of it. Say “make the second round about a renewal that went badly” and that round is rewritten.

   Waits for you. Publishing the plan. Your AI agent shows you a preview first, and the plan goes to your panel when you say so.

3. 3. Same day

   Post the job

   You type

   Write the job posting from that plan and get it ready to publish on our careers page.

   What happens

   Your AI agent drafts the posting from the role and the plan, has Yardstick check the draft for anything missing, and shows you what publishing will do.

   Waits for you. Publishing. The posting goes live on your careers page when you say so.

4. 4. Midweek

   Who still owes feedback?

   You type

   Which interviews from last week still don't have a scorecard, and who owes them?

   What happens

   Your AI agent reads Yardstick's missing-feedback summary and lists each interview still waiting on a scorecard, the interviewer who owes it, and how many days it has been, with links.

5. 5. Before the debrief

   Read the decision brief

   You type

   Read me the decision brief for Priya on the account executive role. What did the panel agree on, and where did they disagree?

   What happens

   Once the panel's scorecards are in, Yardstick writes a decision brief from them. Your AI agent reads it to you, sums up where the panel agreed and split, and links to the brief in Yardstick. You and the panel make the call in the debrief.

6. 6. After the debrief

   Move people forward and tell them

   You type

   Move Dana and Luis to the onsite stage for the customer success role, and draft the email inviting them.

   What happens

   Your AI agent shows you the stage change and the email Yardstick would send with it. When you confirm, the candidates move and the emails are ready as drafts for you to read and send.

   Waits for you. The stage change and the candidate email.

The interview guide in step two is the part to try first. If you want to know what makes a written score description useful, how to build an interview scorecard walks through it. For step five, comparing candidates side by side shows how Yardstick lays out the panel's scores, and running the interview debrief covers the meeting itself.

Questions people ask.
