AI isn’t here to take over your role—or ours. At Good People, we believe the most important parts of hiring and leadership—like building trust, recognizing potential, and making values-aligned decisions—can’t be outsourced to a bot. Great recruiting still demands human intuition, lived experience, and emotional intelligence.
But that doesn’t mean AI has no place. Used wisely, it can streamline repetitive tasks, help you communicate more clearly, and free up time for the work that really matters—like mentoring your team, setting vision, and making thoughtful, strategic hires. It’s not about replacing people—it’s about giving leaders better tools to support them.
Here are 10 practical, time-saving ways you can use tools like ChatGPT to work smarter (without replacing people):
1. Write Job Descriptions Faster
Instead of: Spending 45 minutes writing a JD from scratch.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Write a job description for a Social Media Manager at a wellness brand focused on TikTok and Instagram growth. Include soft skills, must-haves, and culture fit.”
Result: A solid first draft in 60 seconds that you can refine with your recruiter.
2. Summarize Long Docs, Proposals, or Reports
Instead of: Reading a 15-page deck line by line.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Summarize this marketing proposal into key takeaways with next steps.”
Result: A clean, concise summary you can act on quickly.
3. Draft Interview Questions by Role
Instead of: Googling the same questions.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Write 10 role-specific interview questions for a customer experience lead in the wellness industry.”
Result: Thoughtful, role-tailored questions—then bring in your recruiter to help vet responses.
4. Create Onboarding Plans That Don’t Feel Rushed
Instead of: Scrambling on Day 1.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Write a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan for a content creator at a skincare brand.”
Result: A solid framework to personalize alongside your HR or People partner.
5. Plan Better Team Meetings
Instead of: Repeating the same agenda or losing track of priorities.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Create a weekly 30-minute meeting agenda for a marketing team with updates, wins, and roadblocks.”
Result: Productive, consistent meetings that don’t waste time.
6. Turn Raw Notes Into Clean Recaps
Instead of: Sorting through scattered notes after a meeting.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Summarize the following meeting notes into a recap with action items and owners.”
Result: A polished summary you can send out or drop into your project tools.
7. Draft Clear Performance Review Notes
Instead of: Starting feedback from scratch.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Write a performance summary for a project manager who leads cross-functional work well but needs to improve prioritization.”
Result: A helpful first draft to edit and deliver more thoughtfully.
8. Write Internal Updates With Less Stress
Instead of: Stressing over how to phrase something.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Write a friendly internal email to update the team about Q2 results and thank them for their hard work.”
Result: Clear, human updates that save you time.
9. Get Help With Tough Conversations
Instead of: Avoiding that awkward email.
Try asking ChatGPT:
“Draft a kind but clear message to an employee about repeated lateness and next steps.”
Result: Support in striking the right tone—and following through as a leader.
10. Use ChatGPT to Spark Ideas, Not Make Final Decisions
Instead of: Asking AI to replace a role.
Try using it to:
- Brainstorm newsletter subject lines
- Prep talking points for a presentation
- Draft an outline for your team’s quarterly goals
Result: A head start—not a replacement. The magic happens when you shape the final output.
Final Thought:
AI can support your work—but leadership, hiring, and culture? That’s human. Let AI take care of the admin so you can stay focused on strategy, connection, and vision.
