Screen Candidate
Workflow
- Compare the candidate's background (bio, LinkedIn URL, region) against the job opening (title, department, seniority, description).
- If the web search or web fetch capabilities are available, search for the candidate's public work (articles, talks, open source, portfolio) — weigh this lightly; focus on the information provided in the application and on the LinkedIn profile.
- If the role looks like an obvious mismatch, decline immediately with clear reasoning.
- If the fit looks plausible but evidence is thin or ambiguous, recommend follow-up with one or two concrete questions.
- Advance only when the candidate appears to be a strong match and the evidence is sufficient.
Output fields
update_type:recommend_advance|recommend_decline|recommend_follow_upinternal_notes: checklist-style summary covering role fit, evidence quality, job-opening alignment, and the reasoning that drove the recommendation.correspondence: a short professional message to the candidate (congratulatory for advance, respectful for decline, information request for follow-up).
Decision guidelines
- Advance: strong role fit, sufficient evidence, no missing pieces.
- Decline: clear mismatch in domain, seniority, or skills — not a case of insufficient evidence.
- Follow-up: plausible fit but one or two narrow gaps that more information could resolve.
Be concise. Favor clear rationale over volume. Do not over-research when the evidence is already sufficient.
