Brag Doc Template
Talent Acquisition Manager Brag Doc
A brag doc for a Talent Acquisition Manager is the record of hires closed at the bar your hiring managers trust, recruiting-funnel improvements that compounded, partnerships with hiring managers that scaled, and the systems work (ATS, scorecards, interview kits) that produced better outcomes without more headcount. The template below captures all four.

Talent Acquisition Manager Brag Doc
What to include
TA calibration is built on hires closed, funnel quality, hiring-manager partnership, and systems work. Quantify everything (hires, fill time, offer-accept rate, recruiter capacity). Name specific hires that turned into long-term contributors, hiring managers who would back the case, and systems that scaled.

Weak vs. Strong bullets
The format does the easy part. The bullets carry the weight. A few examples to set the bar.
Weak
Closed hires.
Strong
Closed 38 hires across engineering, product, design, GTM this half against a target of 32. Offer-accept rate 87% (team baseline 76%) on the back of the new offer-package presentation I rolled out in Q1. Time-to-fill median moved from 68 days to 52.
Weak
Improved recruiting funnel.
Strong
Rebuilt the engineering interview loop in Q2 after a 4-week analysis showed phone-screen-to-onsite conversion was 28% (industry baseline 38%). Added a 'work sample' stage between phone-screen and onsite that lifted onsite-to-offer conversion 41% to 58% and onsite-to-accept-and-ramp from 64% to 79%. The work sample is now standard for all eng loops.
Weak
Built loop infrastructure.
Strong
Authored the interview-kit library across 14 distinct loops (every IC level across 4 functions). Each kit has 4 calibrated questions, a scoring rubric, and named-debrief framework. Adoption across hiring managers tracked monthly: 87% of loops this half ran with the kits (up from 0% before publication). Interviewer-bias delta on debrief calibrations dropped meaningfully per the new-hire-quality survey 90 days post.
Manual template vs. Bloomly generated report
Manual brag doc
- Works when you already remember the right examples.
- Requires manual sorting, rewriting, and evidence cleanup.
- Best for a one-time draft or printable structure.
Bloomly generated report
- Starts from the work you captured when it happened.
- Organizes entries by goals, skills, impact, and review period.
- Turns daily evidence into shareable summaries and PDF reports.
You don't fill out a Bloomly report. Bloomly writes it.
The template above is the manual version. Bloomly is the generated version. Thirty seconds when something good happens (speak it or type it) and at review time the entire document is in your share sheet. Same shape as the template. Your numbers, your names, your dates. Already written.
