Can we use ChatGPT to store and share job descriptions across our hiring team?

Yes, on Business and Enterprise plans. Business includes team workspaces and SSO authentication so your team can access shared chats and prompts. Enterprise offers custom setup and fine-grained access controls. Free and Plus plans are single-user only.

What happens to candidate data we paste into ChatGPT?

On Free, Go, and Plus plans, OpenAI may review chats to improve their models. On Business and Enterprise plans, you own your data by default - OpenAI does not train models on it and you control how long data is retained. For GDPR compliance, complete a Data Processing Addendum with OpenAI.

What is the cheapest way to get started?

Free plan costs nothing and gives you 10 messages per 5-hour window. Go plan is $8/month with higher message limits. Plus is $20/month and includes deeper research features useful for sourcing strategy work.

Can we integrate ChatGPT into our recruiting software?

Yes. OpenAI offers a developer API with token-based pricing, and supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for building custom integrations. This is best for technical teams or with developer support.

Do we need an Enterprise plan for our agency?

Enterprise is designed for teams of 150 or more and requires custom pricing and setup. Agencies under 150 people should evaluate Business plan ($20-25 per user per month), which includes team workspaces, SSO, and data ownership.

Is ChatGPT GDPR compliant?

OpenAI can support GDPR compliance for Business, Enterprise, and API users who execute a Data Processing Addendum. Free and Plus users should not assume GDPR compliance - the DPA is required.

ChatGPT

AI conversational assistant for writing, analysis, and brainstorming

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a conversational AI used across recruiting workflows for writing, research, and content generation, accessible via web interface or API without technical setup. In a recruiting stack, it's commonly used to draft outreach copy, generate job descriptions, create interview guides, and summarize candidate feedback. The most widely adopted general-purpose LLM in day-to-day recruiting operations globally.

Features

What are ChatGPT's key features?

Draft outreach copy in seconds: Paste a candidate profile or hiring manager's LinkedIn and ask ChatGPT to write a personalized first message - your recruiters and BD reps get a strong first draft in under a minute instead of starting from a blank page.

Summarize and compare candidates at scale: Upload resumes, cover letters, or candidate profiles and ask ChatGPT to extract key experience, flag gaps, or compare against your job description - compressing manual review time on inbound applications without losing the nuance.

Research companies and contacts before outreach: Ask ChatGPT to summarize a target company's recent activity, explain an industry vertical, or map an org chart from public data - giving your BD team quick context before a hiring manager call without a full manual research session.

Generate job descriptions and interview guides on demand: ChatGPT drafts role-specific job postings, competency-based interview guides, and screening question sets in minutes - cutting the time hiring managers and recruiters spend building hiring documents from scratch.

API access for workflow automation: ChatGPT's API connects to your n8n, Make, or Clay workflows so AI generation steps - outreach copy, candidate summaries, data extraction - run automatically at scale without a recruiter prompting them one at a time.

Use Cases

How do recruiting teams use ChatGPT?

A boutique agency's BD team uses ChatGPT to draft personalized cold outreach copy to hiring managers, given specific context about the prospect company and role so the message doesn't read as templated.
A multi-desk agency's recruiter uses ChatGPT to paste a candidate's resume and get a structured first-draft summary against a job brief, skipping the manual reformatting step before a client submission.
An in-house TA team uses ChatGPT as a general writing and research assistant for job description drafts, interview question sets, and candidate evaluation summaries, while reaching for more specialized tools when the workflow requires actual system integrations or agentic execution.

Fit

Who is ChatGPT best for?

Recruiters and BD reps who want research, drafting, and agentic web tasks in one tool with the broadest feature set in the LLM category
Teams using Agent Mode for autonomous web research tasks - pulling company intel, qualifying a prospect list, summarizing job descriptions - not just basic chat
Agencies comparing LLM platforms side by side and prioritizing multimodal capability and the widest integration ecosystem over any single specialized use case

Pros & Cons

What are ChatGPT's pros and cons?
