Want to know if I'm the right fit? Ask your AI.

I work with AI every day. So rather than making you read a long bio and guess whether my experience matches what you're looking for, here's something more useful.

Copy the prompt below and paste it into your preferred AI assistant: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whichever one you use. It contains a structured summary of my background, skills and experience. Your AI will give you an honest assessment of who I am, where I'm strong, and where the gaps might be.

If you have your own company context loaded into your AI chat, it'll go further: mapping my profile against your specific team, challenges and open roles.

The full prompt is visible below so you can see exactly what it says. No tricks, no hidden instructions, just a practical way to explore fit.

Choose the prompt.

Use the hiring version for roles and search conversations. Use the founder version when the question is whether fractional CTO or AI consulting support would help.

Career fit prompt

For recruiters, hiring managers, executive search, and leadership roles.

You are helping a recruiter or hiring manager evaluate a candidate. Below is a structured profile of Dan Crane, a senior technology and product leader based in Australia. Please review it carefully, then provide:

1. A clear, honest summary of who Dan is and what he brings
2. His strongest differentiators compared to a typical candidate at this level
3. Potential concerns or gaps a hiring manager should explore
4. If you have any context about my company, team or open roles — an assessment of how Dan's profile might fit, including where the alignment is strong and where there might be friction

Be direct and balanced. Dan has asked for this to be honest, not flattering.
