How to use the HR prompt generator: AI prompts for HR tasks in your workflow

To build your HR prompt, follow these steps. Only the first one is required: anything you skip stays on Auto.

  1. Start with the essentials. Pick an example (onboarding, clear policy, useful feedback, team engagement, manager training or internal communication) or describe your situation with the goal, the employee group and the deadlines, without names. Then choose what you need to prepare and, if your context is short, turn on “Have the AI ask me questions before it starts”.
  2. Describe your organization. The country or employment framework (United Kingdom, United States, an EU country, Spain, Mexico or another Latin American country) and the organization size. Under advanced settings you choose the main employee group and the moment, for example an issue or a change to something that already exists.
  3. Choose the audience and format. Who it is for (all employees, managers, one employee, leadership, employee representatives, candidates or the HR team) and the format: document, email or message, tables, conversation script, one page or slides. Tone sits under advanced settings.
  4. Set data and quality. The material you will attach and the level of detail. Under advanced settings you get the extra checks (points for employment counsel, accessibility, equality review, rollout plan and success metrics), the response language and a field for anything else the AI must respect.
  5. Generate and copy your prompt. Click “Generate prompt”, enter your email to see the whole prompt and copy it.

Eleven HR tasks. The “What do you need to prepare?” selector offers onboarding plan, policy or procedure, feedback conversation, internal communication, training plan, engagement survey, job ad and interview, manager guide, team goals, people analytics report and workforce planning.

Each task adds its own method, such as the 4 Cs of onboarding, the SBI feedback model or Kirkpatrick’s four levels for training, so creating AI prompts for HR processes doesn’t start from a blank page.

Prompt example: onboarding for 6 new sales reps

With the generator’s “Onboarding” example (six sales reps joining a Manchester office in January), the prompt starts like this. It is an excerpt: the button copies the full prompt.

ROLE
Act as a senior HR business partner with experience in people operations, talent development, internal communication and employee relations. You work from evidence: you separate confirmed policy, aggregated data and assumptions, and you never fill gaps with invented data. You design onboarding with the 4 Cs model (Compliance, Clarification, Culture and Connection) and 30, 60 and 90-day plans.

GOAL
Design an onboarding plan that takes the new hire from accepted offer to working independently in the role.

CONTEXT
Context provided by the user (treat it as your main source):
[START OF BRIEF]
Six sales reps join our Manchester office in January. Today onboarding depends on each manager and new reps take about three months to sell on their own. We have a CRM, a product catalog and a manager with little time. We want every new rep to have a buddy and the first month to be the same for everyone.
[END OF BRIEF]

...

OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver a table with columns Moment, Activity, C covered, Owner, Resource or tool, Sign it worked; then a preboarding checklist for the manager and three questions for each check-in conversation.

...

The full prompt adds the UK employment framework, the organization size and the sales team as context, the privacy and people-decision constraints, six working steps and a final check before answering.

The result: the assistant returns a plan by moment with an owner by role and flags anything that depends on employment law as [check with employment counsel] instead of stating what the law says.

Best practices to get the best results from AI

6 quick tips

  • Leave names, salaries, health data and individual reviews out of the brief. Describe the situation with roles and aggregated data (“12 new customer support hires”).
  • Attach the approved policy or process when there is one. The instructions separate what is confirmed from what HR must review, and they can only cite what you provide.
  • For a sensitive staff message (a reorganization, an incident), choose “Issue or conflict” under “Moment” and turn on “Points for employment counsel” in the extra checks, then have legal counsel review it before it goes out.
  • Let AI prepare documents and conversations, not decide about people. In the EU, the EU AI Act classes AI used to recruit, decide promotions or terminations and evaluate performance as high-risk.
  • When you prepare a feedback conversation before a performance review, write the observed facts and the goal of the conversation; the prompt asks the assistant to drop judgments about personality or intentions, and the AI output stays a draft for you to edit.
  • Change one field at a time between versions to compare results, then save the setup that works for your team: it will save time and keep the result actionable.

Use cases: performance management, people analytics and more

  • New hires A phased plan with owners, resources and review points.
  • Policies A people policy or procedure, or a guide for managers, in clear language.
  • Development A competency-based training and development plan, or a team’s goals.
  • Conversations A feedback conversation based on observable facts, or a guide for managers to run their one-to-ones.
  • Hiring An inclusive job ad and a structured interview guide with STAR questions and a rubric, without the AI deciding who gets hired.
  • Communication A staff message about a change, a benefit or an update, with a human channel for questions.
  • People data A people analytics report on turnover, an employee engagement survey with anonymity rules or workforce planning with scenarios, always with aggregated data.

What makes good prompts for HR

A good prompt for people work gives the AI a role (an experienced HR professional with judgment), a specific task, the team context, the approved material it can use, the constraints and the format. Using generative AI in people management makes the constraints matter most: without them, a model can infer traits, suggest decisions about someone or use data it shouldn’t.

This tool builds those limits into every prompt and leaves the final review with HR teams, privacy and legal. That is how it can help HR professionals streamline HR content and gain productivity without new risks.

Why I built these generators

Paul Delaney

I’m Paul Delaney, and I lead search and AI visibility at Founderz. I’ve been designing AI prompts since the GPT-2 era and writing them every day since 2021, helping friends, colleagues and clients across many sectors, industries and roles get more out of their work with AI tools.

I built these generators to help people. AI is a wonderful tool: it doesn’t replace people, it helps them deliver more and better work. So this generator is designed to bring real value to everyone who uses it, whatever their prompting level. I built it with AI helping me write the code, which is the best proof of what AI lets you do.

Structured prompting, the technique behind this generator, is only one of many. Founderz’s Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation teaches it alongside many others, so graduates come out significantly upskilled and able to build tools like this for their own field.

Frequently asked questions

Is it a free HR tool?

Yes, it’s free. Before it asks for anything, it shows you a preview with the first sections of the prompt. To see the whole prompt and copy it, enter your email and accept the Privacy Policy; receiving communications from Founderz is optional.

It only asks once per visit: any prompts you generate after that are shown in full.

Is HR AI safe with employee data?

Only with aggregated or anonymized data, or inside an environment your company has authorized. The prompt asks the assistant to replace names with roles or placeholders and not to infer sensitive attributes, but do not paste personnel files, salaries, health data or private conversations outside that environment.

Does it work for recruitment?

Yes, for preparing the process. The “Job ad and interview” task produces an inclusive job ad, competency-based STAR questions and a rubric so the whole panel scores against the same criteria.

The AI never assesses or decides on specific candidates. For the rest of talent acquisition, use the recruiting prompts linked above.

What happens to the data I type?

The tool doesn’t use a language model: it combines your answers with Founderz templates in your browser. It only sends your email to Founderz when you ask to see the result, and usage statistics record the options you chose, never your description or the final text.

Which assistants can I use it in?

Any text assistant, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Microsoft 365 Copilot. The prompt is the same for all of them; if you will attach your policy, aggregated data or survey results, say so under “Material you will attach” and the prompt tells the assistant how to use them.

Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation

If you want to apply AI to talent and people work with judgment, the Founderz Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation takes 3-4 months, runs 100% online and ends with Microsoft and Founderz certification.
