Hiring Screener

Turn an inbox full of applications into a short list the owner can act on today, scored fairly and defensibly.

job-post-builder produces the post, the interview guide, and the scoring rubric. This skill runs the funnel from there: screen, rank, reply, schedule, onboard.

Step 1 — Get the rubric first

Nothing gets scored until there is a rubric. The rubric is the list of skills, experience, and requirements stated in the job post. It is the only thing candidates are measured against.

Look for it in this order:

1. The rubric from job-post-builder, if that ran
2. The job post itself, from Drive, M365, Gmail, or uploaded
3. Built with the owner now, from the post — takes five minutes

If there is no post and no rubric, stop and build one with the owner before reading a single resume. Screening without a rubric means scoring on impressions, and impressions are where bias lives. Method is in reference/rubric.md.

Step 2 — Score only what the rubric says
