Claude for HR teams
Claude for HR: more time for your people.
HR teams write constantly: job descriptions, policies, onboarding packs and answers to the same questions every week. Claude takes on the drafting and the repetition, so HR can spend more time on the conversations that need a person.

Illustrative example
Safe use
People decisions stay with people.
The safeguards we build into every rollout for HR teams, and train the team on.
Decisions about individuals, such as hiring, discipline or pay, are made by people, not by AI.
Health information and other special category data never go in.
Personal employee information, such as pay, disciplinary or absence records, stays out.
Recruitment content is reviewed for fairness and accuracy before it is published.

Prompts to try
Copy, paste, adapt.
Starting points written for HR teams. Replace the [brackets], leave out names and anything personal or sensitive, and check the output before you use it.
- Job description
Write a job description for a [role] at a [size and type of business]. Responsibilities: [list]. Must-haves: [list]. Keep it under 400 words, use inclusive and plain language, avoid jargon, and only include requirements that are genuinely essential.
- Policy in plain English
Rewrite the attached [policy] so any employee can understand it. Keep every rule and obligation, but use short sentences and headings, add a one-paragraph summary at the top, and list anything that is unclear in the original for me to check.
- Survey themes
Here are comments from our staff survey, with names and anything that could identify a person removed. Group them into the five most common themes, give a short summary and two representative quotes for each, and note any themes that need urgent attention.

Can HR use Claude with employee data?
Keep personal employee information out. Most HR work, such as policies, job descriptions, onboarding packs and training, needs none. Health, pay, disciplinary and absence information should never go in. If you are considering any use involving personal data, check your obligations and whether a data protection impact assessment is needed before you start.
Should we use AI to screen CVs?
We advise against putting candidates' CVs and applications into general AI tools, and against using AI to rank or reject people. Use Claude for the parts that need no personal data, such as fair job adverts, interview questions and scoring guides, and keep people making every decision.
Can Claude answer staff questions about our policies?
Yes. A Project or assistant built on your own handbook can answer routine questions, and should be set up to tell staff not to share personal details and to point them to a member of the HR team for anything sensitive.
