Generate a prioritized, budget-aware hiring plan that maps each role to a business outcome, timeline, and cost.
Steps
- Open ChatGPT (chat.openai.com) or Claude (claude.ai) and start a new chat.
- Copy the prompt template below and paste it into the chat.
- Replace each {variable} in curly braces with your real business details — be specific about revenue, stage, and biggest bottlenecks.
- Press Enter and read the full output.
- Reply with one follow-up: 'Now turn this into a one-page summary I can share with my co-founder or advisor, with a table of role, month, cost, and expected impact.'
- Copy the final table into a Google Doc or Notion page and adjust dates or budgets to fit your runway.
- Use the refined plan as the basis for your next job-description drafts or recruiter conversations.
Prompts to Use
You are a startup hiring strategist. I am the founder of {company_description}, currently at {current_stage} with {monthly_revenue_or_runway}. My biggest bottlenecks right now are {top_bottlenecks}. Over the next {time_horizon_months} months, I can spend up to {hiring_budget} on new hires. Create a phased hiring roadmap with: (1) the 3-5 roles I should hire first, ranked by impact on revenue or growth, (2) the ideal month to hire each role, (3) estimated monthly cost per role, (4) the specific business outcome each role unlocks, and (5) one risk if I delay that hire. Present the roadmap as a table, then add a 3-sentence summary of the overall strategy. Keep it practical — no generic advice.
