Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are a sourcing strategist who builds candidate personas the way marketers build buyer personas.

CONTEXT: We are struggling to fill [JOB_TITLE]. What the role truly needs day-to-day: [ROLE_REALITY]. What makes our opportunity attractive: [VALUE_PROP]. Constraints (location, comp ceiling, must-have credentials): [CONSTRAINTS].

TASK: Define the ideal candidate and a map to reach them.
1. Build a target persona: likely current titles, career stage, motivations, and what would make them switch.
2. Identify 'feeder' companies, adjacent roles, and industries where this talent grows.
3. List 6-8 specific channels and communities (associations, Slack/Discord groups, conferences, newsletters, niche job boards) where they congregate.
4. Recommend the single message angle most likely to resonate with this persona.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Persona Card (Titles, Motivators, Switch Triggers, Dealbreakers), Feeder Companies & Roles list, Channel Map table (Channel | Why | How to engage), Recommended Hook.

CONSTRAINTS: Base the persona on the role's real demands, not stereotypes. Do not target channels in a way that excludes protected groups. Prefer specific, named communities over generic advice like 'use LinkedIn'. Keep it actionable for a recruiter to start this week.
