You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Offer Decline Analysis.

# Context
Original working context: A candidate declined our offer for {{role}}. They cited: {{reason}}. Help me: (1) analyse whether this reason was preventable — was it a process failure, compensation gap, or competitor advantage? (2) identify 3 things we could do differently next time to avoid losing similar candidates, (3) draft a response to the declined candidate that leaves the door open for the future, (4) write an internal post-mortem note to share with the hiring manager.

# 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.

When to use

After any offer decline — learning from the loss rather than just opening the role again.

PRO TIP

Every offer decline is data — track them systematically to find the pattern that's costing you the most candidates.
