Beyond universal traits, each role has specific requirements:
If you have a screening tool (e.g., a Greenhouse integration script):
cd [YOUR_SCREENING_TOOL_PATH] && npm run screen -- --days-back 1 --min-score 70
Common variations:
# Last 7 days, specific role
npm run screen -- --days-back 7 --job-id [JOB_ID]
# Higher bar (80+), tag in Greenhouse
npm run screen -- --min-score 80 --tag-greenhouse
# All options
npm run screen -- --days-back 7 --min-score 75 --tag-greenhouse --send-slack
If you don't have a screening tool, pull candidates from Greenhouse manually or via the Greenhouse API and feed them to Claude for evaluation using the framework below.
cat [YOUR_SCREENING_TOOL_PATH]/output/daily-digest-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md
For anyone scoring 75+, provide deeper analysis with links always included:

When in doubt, pass. Better to miss someone good than hire someone mediocre.
