SIA Chat Prompts
Ready-to-use SIA Chat prompts for recruiters - sourcing, reviewing assessments, workflows, and pipelines. SIA previews high-impact actions before executing them.
SIA use your organization’s live recruiting data and will show a preview before high-impact actions such as sending emails, moving candidates, importing records, or activating workflows.
Working with SIA Chat
#Start from a prompt, then make it yours. These prompts are starting points, not scripts - adapt the wording, add detail, or combine ideas freely, just like you'd ask a colleague.
Example: Find senior [role] candidates in [location] with [skills] and at least [X] years of experience.
Could become
Find senior Backend Engineers in Bengaluru who know Python, Django, and PostgreSQL, ideally with 5+ years of experience and some startup background.
Say what outcome you want - Just tell SIA the decision or output you're after: a shortlist, comparison, summary, recommendation, draft, or action.
Compare the five strongest candidates for [role]. Recommend who should move to AI interview, with a concise rationale for each.
Use action words intentionally
| Goal | Useful wording |
|---|---|
| Explore data | "Show" "Find" "Compare" "Summarize" "Explain" |
| Create something for review | "Draft" "Generate" "Prepare" "Preview" |
| Save without sending | "Save as a draft" |
| Make a live change | "Shortlist" "Disqualify" "Send" "Activate" "Archive" "Import" |
| Check before acting | "Show me what will change" "Preview this action" |
Review before confirming: Before any live action runs, SIA shows you a preview. Check:
- Which candidates, applications, jobs, or workflows are affected
- Any emails or invitations that will go out
- Any automation that may be triggered
- Records being skipped, and why
- External-sourcing credit costs, if applicable

- Candidates already in your SIA talent pool - Search and match against people already screened or added to your pipeline.
- Resumes you already have in files, Drive, Sheets, or Notion - Import and screen candidates from documents you've collected outside SIA.
- New people from an external sourcing database - Find and reveal fresh candidates through providers like Swarm, People Data labs or Apollo, who aren't yet in your pool.
Being specific about which route you mean helps SIA return the right results faster
