Follow up with candidates using one free prompt

This page gives you a free, copy-ready prompt for this job (it finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait), plus the $19 standing-agent version that runs it on repeat without re-pasting rules.

It finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait. The prompt below is the do-it-yourself version.

The prompt

Here is my candidate tracking sheet: [paste candidate, role, last touch date, status]. For every candidate whose follow-up is due today, draft the email using the context of their last touch. If a candidate asked for time, hold the draft and tell me when to send it instead. Do not send anything - drafts only.

What to bring

Follow-ups live in your head. The candidate who asked for two days, the hiring manager who owes feedback, the take-home that needs a nudge. Miss one and a good candidate goes cold.

What a good run returns

Only the ones you approve, and it shows its work. In the demo it sends two follow-ups and holds a third because the candidate asked for two days; you see the reason.

Where the free version ends

A prompt runs when you remember to run it, from whatever context you paste, and it forgets the rules between sessions. The Follow-up Agent ($19 one-time) 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.

Any capable chat assistant: Instinct, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Town, Muse and others.

What is the difference between the free prompt and the $19 agent?
