Application Screening Rubric

Paste a job description, get a weighted screening rubric, knockout questions with decoys, and a scoring sheet - before the req goes live. The hour before a job posts is when screening is won or lost. Post without a rubric and you'll improvise 400 decisions; post with one and every application gets the same fair, fast, defensible read. Feed this skill a job description (plus salary range and location pattern). It returns: a 5-8 criterion weighted rubric with "what great looks like" written for each criterion, 3-5 forced-choice knockout questions including two decoy options, routing bands (advance/hold/reject), and a scoring sheet format. It flags any criterion that isn't observable from an application - the silent killer of screening rubrics. It can also score: paste a batch of applications and it scores each against your rubric with evidence quotes, flags AI-written-application signals, and drafts the specificity-probe email for flagged candidates. Works with: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any agent that reads SKILL.md files. Best for: recruiters, hiring managers, and founders screening without enterprise tools.
