Three questions

Hands up.

1
Used ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini last week?
2
Keep it up: pasted something from a client into it?An email, a quote, a complaint.
3
Keep it up: do you know if that chat trains the AI, and where the switch is?

Remember the count on question 3

Anthropic changed how it talks to Claude.

The old way of instructing Claude on the left. The way Anthropic recommends since July on the right.

Then
The old way
You are a WORLD-CLASS recruiter. The BEST.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS reply in under 150 words.
NEVER promise an interview. NEVER. CRITICAL.
Rule 4: first name. Rule 5: no emojis.
Rule 6: one CV detail. Rule 7: a reply-by date.
Rule 8: your mobile. Rule 9: warm BUT professional.
Example 1: "Hi Priya, thanks so much for..."
Example 2: "Hi Tom, thanks so much for..."
Example 3: "Hi Mei, thanks so much for..."
REMEMBER: check the calendar FIRST. ALWAYS.
Rule 10: do NOT ignore rules 1 to 9.
(pasted below: the whole 40-page handbook)
Most of it went.
Now
The new way
The situation.Who is writing, who is reading, what they already know.
The goal.Keep them warm, set expectations, promise nothing.

Rule 2 of 6
Then
Give Claude examples

The new receptionist gets 20 past emails and "do it like these". They copy the phrasing, even a client's name.

Now
Give Claude

Then
Paste the whole book
Now
Give Claude the
table of contents.

It opens the chapter it needs, when it needs it.

Hands up for one
When would B beat C?

Claude writes the first reply to every new candidate.
Which setup gets the best result today?

A
A role line plus 12 rules
"You are a senior recruiter with 20 years in marketing hiring", then 12 rules: warm but professional, under 150 words, first name, exact role, one CV detail, never promise an interview, a reply-by date, your mobile.
B
Your 5 best replies as examples
Paste your five best-ever replies, labelled "excellent", so Claude learns the style, length and warmth you want, then ask for new replies to the same standard.
C
Context, the goal, a short form
Explain who your candidates are and what a good first reply must achieve (keep them warm, set expectations, promise nothing), plus a short form: role, what happens next, when they'll hear back.
Best
D
SEEK's template, blanks filled
Give Claude SEEK's free job application acknowledgement template and tell it to fill in the candidate's name, the role and the next steps.
The trap
CThe goal plus a form. The wording stays Claude's.
DA trusted brand, and it looks like a form. A template with blanks removes judgement: every candidate gets the same email.
