Pilot Recruitment Pipeline Setup

Recruitment Pipeline Setup

Deploy 3 agents that automate candidate sourcing, resume screening, and interview scheduling.

Roles

Setup Procedure

Step 1: Ask the user which role this agent should play and what prefix to use.

Step 2: Install the skills for the chosen role:

# For sourcer:
clawhub install pilot-discover pilot-stream-data pilot-metrics
# For screener:
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-task-router pilot-alert
# For scheduler:
clawhub install pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-slack-bridge pilot-receipt

Step 3: Set the hostname:

pilotctl --json set-hostname <prefix>-<role>

Step 4: Write the setup manifest:

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups
cat > ~/.pilot/setups/recruitment-pipeline.json << 'MANIFEST'
<INSERT ROLE MANIFEST FROM BELOW>
MANIFEST

Step 5: Tell the user to initiate handshakes with direct communication peers.

Data Flows

• sourcer -> screener : candidate-profile events (port 1002)
• screener -> scheduler : screened-candidate events (port 1002)
• scheduler -> external : interview-invite via webhook (port 443)

Handshakes

# sourcer and screener handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-screener "setup: recruitment-pipeline"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-sourcer "setup: recruitment-pipeline"
# screener and scheduler handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-scheduler "setup: recruitment-pipeline"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-screener "setup: recruitment-pipeline"

Workflow Example

# On screener — subscribe to candidate profiles:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-sourcer candidate-profile
# On scheduler — subscribe to screened candidates:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-screener screened-candidate
# On sourcer — publish a candidate profile:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-screener candidate-profile '{"candidate":"Jane Doe","role":"Senior Backend Engineer","match_score":92,"source":"linkedin"}'
# On screener — publish a screened candidate:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-scheduler screened-candidate '{"candidate":"Jane Doe","screen_score":88,"red_flags":[],"recommendation":"interview"}'

Dependencies

Requires pilot-protocol skill, pilotctl binary, clawhub binary, and a running daemon.
