# Candidate follow-ups that never go cold

The Follow-up Agent is a $19 one-time AI agent skill for recruiters. It finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait. It runs on the assistant you already use and stops at every human decision.

Give this repeat job to the AI assistant you already use. Get a filled Google Sheet in a well-named Drive folder, ready for you to review.

Automate candidate follow-up emails and hiring-team reminders with context-aware drafts and a filled tracking Sheet. It uses the role criteria, source files and approval rules you choose, then saves the filled output in a named Google Drive folder. This keeps the workflow repeatable without handing your judgment to the agent.

**Stop rebuilding this work every time.**

Find due candidate and hiring-team follow-ups and prepare context-aware drafts without over-contacting. The agent keeps the steps, checks and output consistent, while you keep every decision.

Sample data. Your agent fills the file from the sources you approve and flags anything it cannot verify.

What you get

## Three files. One complete workflow.

`skill.md`

The full job, evidence rules, output checks and stop points.

`setup-prompt.txt`

Creates the tools, named Drive folder and sample-data test.

`usage-prompt.txt`

The short request you reuse whenever the job comes up.

Set up once

## Working in three steps

**Give the setup prompt to your assistant**

It checks access, creates the folder and builds the output file.

**Point it at the inputs you approve**

Use Google by default, or the Microsoft or Zoho alternative.

**Review the filled output**

Unknowns and next decisions are shown instead of guessed.

You stay in control

## Where the agent stops

  - It does not invent missing facts or hide weak source evidence.
  - It does not send, publish, spend, schedule or make a human decision without approval.
  - It flags blocked work and tells you exactly what is needed next.

## Use the Follow Up Agent with your assistant

The same three files run on any assistant that reads plain text. Pick yours for the step-by-step setup - where the files go, what a run looks like, and the honest limits:

  - [**Instinct**](/for/instinct/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - hand the three files to Instinct in chat - it keeps them across sessions, so the agent becomes a standing workflow you trigger with one line.
  - [**ChatGPT**](/for/chatgpt/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - lives in a ChatGPT Project - skill.md as a Project file, the setup prompt as Project instructions, and each run starts inside that Project.
  - [**Claude**](/for/claude/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - lives in a Claude Project - skill.md as Project knowledge, the setup prompt as instructions, and each run starts in that Project.
  - [**Gemini**](/for/gemini/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - lives in a Gemini Gem - the Gem’s instructions are skill.md plus the setup prompt, so the rules persist between sessions.
  - [**Grok**](/for/grok/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - lives in a Grok Skill or custom Bot with skill.md as the standing expertise - or attach the three files to a chat.
  - [**DeepSeek**](/for/deepseek/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - no persistent agents - upload skill.md at the start of each chat and re-paste the usage prompt per run (a well-packaged DIY prompt).
  - [**Perplexity**](/for/perplexity/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - lives in a Perplexity Space - upload the three files, paste the setup prompt into the Space instructions, and runs start in that Space.
  - [**Microsoft Copilot**](/for/copilot/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - with Microsoft 365 Copilot it lives in a Notebook (skill.md as reference, setup prompt as instructions); in consumer Copilot, re-upload the files each session.
  - [**Hermes**](/for/hermes/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - place skill.md in your Hermes workspace as the standing skill, then run the setup prompt - local-first, files stay under your control.
  - [**OpenClaw**](/for/openclaw/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - drop the three files into your OpenClaw workspace and point it at skill.md - setup runs over your usual chat channel.
  - [**Town**](/for/town/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - share the three files with Town and ask it to keep skill.md as the standing rules for the job.
  - [**Muse**](/for/muse/recruiters/follow-up-agent/) - give the three files to Muse and ask it to keep skill.md as the standing rules - approve the sample-data test first.

## Questions people ask

### What does the Follow-up Agent actually do?

It finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait. It prepares review-ready work and stops for your approval before anything is sent, spent, published or scheduled.

### Which AI assistants work with the Follow-up Agent?

Any assistant that reads plain-text files: Instinct, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Town, Muse and others. You hand it three files - skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt.

### Is the Follow-up Agent $19 a subscription?

No. $19 is one-time. You download and keep the three files forever; there is no account and no renewal.

### How long does setup take?

About 10 minutes: attach the files, run the setup prompt, approve the fictional-data test. It never touches real work until you approve the sample run.
