Recruiters are spending more time than ever on AI tools, yet they're still getting back pipelines that miss the mark. The culprit is usually the prompt — too rigid, too keyword-dependent, too far from how you'd actually describe a great hire to a colleague. 

This guide walks you through how to write prompts that get AI to source the way you think, not just the way a Boolean string searches.

What's inside:

• The AI mindset shift — why describing beats filtering, and how to make the switch across your day-to-day workflows
• Prompting 101, 201, and 301 — foundational to expert techniques, with a clear progression for every skill level
• Before-and-after examples — real prompt examples for sourcing  so you can see exactly what good looks like
• Two-shot prompting — how to teach AI what "good" looks like by giving it examples, and why it dramatically improves output quality
