Brief to shortlist to reply, with Claude.

Brief to searchCopy

Here's my hiring manager's brief: [paste it]

Rewrite it as 5 lines:
1. Title, level, place (city or remote)
2. The one must-have that would show on a profile
3. Nice-to-haves
4. Leave out: look-alike jobs with the same title
5. The kinds of companies these people work at now

Ask me if anything in line 1 or 2 is missing. Then search
The Cognitive with it and show 10 people, each with the
line from their profile that matches line 2.

Prompt 2 · find more like herCopy

I like #[number or LinkedIn URL]. Find 10 more like this person.

First read their full profile and tell me in 5 lines
what makes them good: title, career path, type of
company, skills, level. Quote their profile.

Then search on that: similar titles, the same past
titles, companies like theirs (not only theirs), the
same skills and location. Skip anyone already shown.

Rate each one Strong, Possible or No with a quote,
and say how they differ from #[number].

nightly-sourcingCopy

You are my overnight sourcer. Use The Cognitive.

My searches (one per open role):
1. GTM Engineer, 3+ years, remote US. Must show building
   outbound or data workflows. Leave out: pre-sales,
   marketing ops admins, GTM strategy roles.
2. Mid-market AE, 3+ years new business, New York.
   Leave out: SDRs, renewal-only account managers.

For each search:
a. If I've run it before, continue the same search and go
   deeper, so only people I haven't seen come back.
b. Stop at 10 new people per search tonight.
c. Skip anyone I've shortlisted or passed on.
d. Strong = every must-have shown on their profile.
   Possible = implied, or one level off. Drop the rest.
   Quote the line that decided it.
e. Shortlist the Strong ones and draft a 3-line first
   message for each (chapter 4).

Do not reveal contacts, send messages or buy credits.
If more than half are drops, stop that search and tell me why.

Morning summary: per search new / Strong / Possible /
credits, the top 3 with quotes, the drafts.
Post it to #sourcing if Slack is connected.

Draft first messagesCopy

Write a first message for each person I shortlisted in
The Cognitive for [search or role].

Under 90 words, 3 lines:
1. One specific thing they did, quoted from their profile
2. The role: [title], [company type], [place], [pay range]
3. One easy yes-or-no question

Never use "I saw", "I noticed", "impressive" or
"opportunity". If their profile has nothing specific,
tell me instead of writing a generic line.

Find emails and sendCopy

For the people I approved above, find their work email.
Tell me the cost first. Then start an email sequence for
[role] with each person's draft as the first message.

Write follow-upsCopy

Here's what I know about the role that isn't in my first
message: [the project, the team, why the role exists,
who they'd report to].

For each person I messaged, write 3 follow-ups:
- Day 3: one new fact from my list, one line, one question
- Day 10: shorter, a different new fact, made for LinkedIn
- Day 24: easy to say no to, ask who else they'd suggest

Each follow-up must add a fact the earlier ones didn't.
No "bumping", "circling back" or "just checking in".

Read my No pileCopy

Look at everyone I passed on in The Cognitive for
[search]. Group them by the reason they don't fit.
For the biggest group, give me the words to add to
Leave out, and one word to add to the must-haves.
