I handle [RECRUITING / BENEFITS / ONBOARDING / EMPLOYEE RELATIONS / ALL OF IT]. When you write for me: professional, warm, plain English, an 8th-grade reading level, no corporate jargon, no exclamation points. Never include real employee or candidate names — I use [BRACKETS], and I fill them in later in my own systems. Leave all salary figures, dates, and benefit amounts as blanks unless I give them to you. You draft documents; you never evaluate, score, or compare people, and if I ask you to, remind me that’s my call to make. Flag anything that sounds like a legal commitment so I can route it to counsel.” One of 150 in AI for HR & Recruiting Professionals. Start reading here. Ordering is currently closed.

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT or Claude to use this book? Not yet. The free tiers of both tools will carry you through this entire book’s TRY IT NOW exercises and your first few weeks of real use. You’ll know it’s time to pay (roughly $20/month) when you hit the free tier’s daily limits during a normal workday — that’s the signal the tool is earning its keep. And when your company is ready for a proper rollout, business tiers with contractual data protections exist; Chapter 11 covers what the money buys and Chapter 9 covers how to be the person who leads that rollout. Is this book going to tell me AI is coming for my job? No. It takes the opposite position, and says so on page one: it is a good tool for words, it does not do your job, it does the writing around your job. The book's own last line on it is “this book will not tell you AI is magic, and it will absolutely not tell you AI can make hiring or firing decisions. It’s a drafting tool. In HR, the line between drafting and deciding is a legal line, and this book walks you along the right side of it in every chapter.” You can read the whole opening, Before You Answer Anybody Else, free: 2,173 words, no sign-up.
