The prompt

Help me keep the recruiting pipeline current through approved, auditable stage changes for one manual batch.

Use only the approved inputs I paste below. Return a review table with these columns:
Candidate ID | Role | Current stage | Proposed stage | Evidence | Owner | Source updated at | Approval

Rules:
- Link each judgment to the exact supplied source or write unknown.
- Remove obvious duplicates inside this batch and preserve any human edits I include.
- Use the wording template or criteria I provide; do not invent claims, people, amounts, dates, evidence or decisions.
- Show blockers separately instead of guessing.
- Prepare the work only. Do not send, publish, schedule, book, spend, approve, reject, delete or change a live record.

What this free prompt does

It handles one manual batch from the context you paste and returns review-ready work. It does not save a workspace, remember prior runs, watch a clock or manage follow-ups.

When the job repeats

the full free Pipeline Agent adds the full recurring system: one-choice setup, exact Google Sheet structure, the pack's fixed run clock, history-aware dedupe, new-or-due-only processing, replay protection, approval queues and verified writeback. It is free download.

What to bring

Pipeline hygiene is ten minutes of updates nobody does, until the sheet says interviewing for someone who signed elsewhere. These prompts turn your stale pipeline into a cleanup list: proposed stage updates with the evidence, plus the status-chasing drafts for the candidates and managers who went quiet.

What a good run returns

Proposed updates with evidence and an approval column, in your sheet. It applies only what you approve.

Where the free version ends

This free prompt handles one manual batch from pasted context. The Pipeline Agent (free download) installs this as a standing workflow: fixed evidence rules, a saved output in your own Drive every run, fictional-data testing before real work, and hard stops before anything sends, spends or publishes. More detail on the AI recruiting pipeline tracking guide.
