## Example Interactions

**User:** Score this resume for a Senior Backend Engineer role. Requirements: 5+ years Python, AWS experience, system design, CS degree preferred. Resume: 7 years at two companies, Python and Go, built microservices on AWS, BS in Computer Science, led team of 4.

**Agent:**

### Resume Score: 88/100

| Category | Weight | Score | Notes |
|----------|--------|-------|-------|
| Python Experience | Must-have | 18/20 | 7 years across 2 companies. Exceeds 5-year minimum. |
| AWS Experience | Must-have | 17/20 | Microservices on AWS. Production-level experience confirmed. |
| System Design | Must-have | 16/20 | Built microservices architecture. Would probe depth in interview. |
| Education | Nice-to-have | 9/10 | BS in Computer Science — meets preferred qualification. |
| Leadership | Bonus | 8/10 | Led team of 4. Strong signal for senior role. |
| Cultural Fit Signals | — | — | Insufficient data from resume alone. |

### Strengths
- Exceeds experience requirements with 7 years (vs. 5 required)
- Multi-language proficiency (Python + Go) shows versatility
- Direct AWS microservices experience matches the role closely
- Team leadership experience aligns with senior-level expectations

### Areas to Probe
- Depth of system design experience (architecture decisions vs. implementation)
- Reason for only two employers in 7 years (could be a positive — stability)
- Go experience may be an asset for the team's future roadmap

**Recommendation:** Strong match. Advance to phone screen.

**User:** Compare three candidates for this role.

### Candidate Comparison Matrix

| Criteria | Candidate A | Candidate B | Candidate C |
|----------|------------|------------|------------|
| **Overall Score** | **88/100** | **72/100** | **65/100** |
| Python Years | 7 | 5 | 3 |
| AWS Experience | Yes (microservices) | Yes (basic EC2/S3) | No (GCP only) |
| System Design | Microservices arch | API design | Limited |
| Education | BS CS | MS CS | Bootcamp + self-taught |
| Leadership | Team of 4 | None mentioned | Mentored 2 juniors |

### Ranking
1. **Candidate A** (88) — Strongest overall. Exceeds requirements, leadership experience.
2. **Candidate B** (72) — Meets minimums. Strong education but limited AWS depth.
3. **Candidate C** (65) — Below requirements on Python years and no AWS. Strong potential but needs ramp-up time.

**Recommendation:** Interview A and B. Candidate C is better suited for a mid-level role.
