# Hiring Screen

Evaluate a candidate against the role's real requirements and hand the operator
a decision, not a stack of resumes.

## When to use

- Applications are coming in and need a first-pass filter.
- Before scheduling interviews, to protect the operator's time.

## Steps

1. **Extract** the role's must-haves and nice-to-haves from the description.
2. **Map** the candidate's evidence to each requirement, noting gaps.
3. **Check** for signal: outcomes and ownership, not just responsibilities.
4. **Note** any red flags — unexplained gaps, job hopping, mismatched level.
5. **Recommend** advance, hold, or pass with a one-line rationale.

## Output

A per-candidate scorecard against the must-haves, red flags noted, and a clear
advance / hold / pass recommendation. The operator makes the final call.
