Safe Handoff

Draft a job advert and screening questions for a new role

Handoff 2 Drafts for review Reviewed 17 Oct 2026 Set-up: 15 minutes

Who it's for
Small teams hiring without an HR department
Outcome
A job advert draft and a short list of screening questions for you to review and post.
Why Handoff 2
It drafts text for you to edit. You post the advert and make every hiring decision yourself.

Steps

  1. Give the agent the role, hours, pay range, location and must-have duties.
  2. Ask it to mark any legal or pay wording as [CHECK].
  3. Edit the advert and questions so they match what you really offer.
  4. Post the advert yourself.

Copy-paste prompt

Works with any agent. Replace the [square brackets] with your details.

Using these details: role [role], hours [hours], pay [range], location [place], main duties [paste], draft: 1. A clear job advert. 2. Five screening questions tied to the duties. Mark any legal, pay or equality-related wording as [CHECK]. Do not invent benefits or requirements that are not in my details. Output drafts only; do not post or contact anyone.

Notes for each agent

Only features we found in each provider's official documentation on 17 Oct 2026 are stated as product facts, with the source linked. Product features change; check before relying on them.

Claude Suggested

Ask Claude to save drafts, not send them. In Cowork's Manual mode it pauses for approval before using connector tools set to 'Needs approval'. Avoid 'Skip' mode for anything sent in your name.

ChatGPT Suggested

Before an app action such as sending an email, ChatGPT may show an approval card. Keep your email app on 'Always ask' or 'Allow read actions' so sending always needs your OK.

Gemini Suggested

Gemini can draft Gmail messages in chat (Google Workspace connected app required). The draft has a Send button, so read it first, or use 'Edit in Gmail' on the web to finish it in Gmail.

Microsoft Copilot Suggested

In Outlook, 'Draft with Copilot' writes a draft you edit and send yourself, and 'Coaching by Copilot' can suggest tone and clarity fixes.

Open agents & automations Suggested

In n8n, connect the send tool through a human review step: the workflow pauses and shows the exact message for Approve or Deny.
