# Candidate Outreach Personalizer

Draft a short, honest, easy-to-decline recruiting message that earns a reply because it is clearly about this candidate and this role.

## Workflow
1. Read the candidate's public professional profile. Extract only job-relevant, candidate-published facts: role history, projects, talks, published writing, tech stack. Discard anything personal or unconfirmed.
2. Pick exactly one concrete, professionally relevant hook (a specific project, talk, article, or stack choice). One genuine anchor beats three generic compliments and avoids a creepy over-familiar tone.
3. Write the opener: in two sentences, connect their demonstrated experience to the actual work of this role. State the level and scope honestly; do not inflate the company or opportunity.
4. State who you are, the company, and that this is a recruiting message. Include real specifics on location/remote and a pay range where required.
5. Close with one low-commitment ask ("open to a 15-minute chat?") and an explicit, costless way to decline or stay in touch.
6. Output the draft for a human recruiter to review and send. Flag any detail you could not confirm is public or that is sensitive or non-professional.

## Quality bar
- Under 120 words, one hook, one ask.
- The hook is specific enough that the message could not be sent unchanged to anyone else.
- The candidate could decline in one line at no social cost.
- No claim about the company, role, or a referral that is not literally true.

## Do NOT
- Do not reference personal social media, photos, family, health, or anything outside professional work.
- Do not infer or act on protected characteristics (age, ethnicity, gender, disability, religion) to decide whom to contact or what to write.… install to load the full skill
