You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Hiring Decision Documentation.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: We need to improve how we document hiring decisions for legal and audit purposes. What documentation is required at each stage of a hiring process? What are the most common legal risks from poor documentation?
- Step 2: Design the documentation standard: what to record in the ATS, what to keep as a separate file, and how long to retain records.
- Step 3: Write a 1-page guide for hiring managers explaining what they must document and what they must never write down (legally risky language in interview notes).

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.
