Applicant screening & interview prep

Given attached CVs, a screening desk scores candidates against the role scorecard on job-relevant evidence, ranks them into tiers, and prepares competency-based interview questions; a fair-hiring reviewer audits the ranking before you approve.

What it installs

Agents 2

  • Screening Agent

    Ranks candidates on job-relevant evidence and writes competency-based questions.

  • Fair-Hiring Reviewer

    An adversarial reviewer who checks the screening for fairness before it ships.

Teams 1

  • Screening Desk

    A screener who scores and ranks candidates and preps interviews, paired with a fair-hiring reviewer who audits the ranking for bias and consistency before it reaches a human.

Workflows 1

  • Screen, rank, prep, fair-hiring review, approve

    Score and rank candidates on evidence, prep interview questions, audit for fairness, and hand off for approval.

Documents 1

  • Role scorecard & hiring criteria

    The editable, role-specific scorecard you maintain: the must-have and nice-to-have criteria, weights, disqualifiers, and 1/3/5 anchors every candidate is scored against. Fill it in per role; the screener reads it as input.

Skills 3

  • applicant-screening

    Screen CVs against a weighted requirements matrix, score each candidate on documented evidence, and produce a tiered ranking report — with explicit bias-awareness and fair-screening discipline. Adapted from claude-office-skills/skills/applicant-screening.

  • interview-prep

    Design structured, competency-based interview plans: 4–6 role competencies, a behavioral/situational question bank, 1/3/5 scorecard anchors, panel assignment, and a debrief template. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/interview-prep.

  • hiring-review

    Audit screening and hiring decisions for fairness: job-relevance of every criterion, consistent application of the standard, documented rejections, and an adverse-impact sanity check — flag what needs a human, never state law from memory. Adapted from anthropics/claude-for-legal/hiring-review.

Requirements

What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Browser access to your email and calendar — To invite shortlisted candidates and book interviews, the agent works in your email and calendar through their web interface in your browser and pauses for your approval before sending or scheduling anything. Until you connect them, it drafts the invites and proposed slots for you to send.
