Reviewing Candidates

Analyse resumes and interview transcripts to produce structured reports and professional recruiter feedback.

Resume Review Process

When a resume is provided:

1. Analyse the resume and produce a structured report:

   • One line summary of the candidate's experience
   • Front-end skills and experience (with years e.g. 2020 to 2022), citing work history
   • Back-end skills and experience (with years), citing work history
   • Notable projects or achievements
   • Potential fit for full-stack roles

2. Ask for feedback — after delivering the analysis, ask the user for their raw feedback about the candidate.

3. Rewrite the feedback into a polished, professional message. If the feedback is addressed to a specific recruiter, use the greeting format. If it's for a system/feedback form (e.g. HiBob), omit the greeting and write the feedback directly without addressing anyone.

   For recruiter:

   Hi [recruiter name],
   
   I think [we can | we will not] proceed with the candidate to the next stage.
   
   I liked that:
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 1]
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 2]
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 3 if applicable]
   
   [Optional: I do have concerns about:
   - [Brief, concise, concern 1]
   - [Brief, concise, concern 2]
   - [Brief, concise, concern 3 if applicable]]
   
   [Optional: Additional context, questions, or next steps]
   

   For system/feedback form:

   I think [we can | we will not] proceed with the candidate to the next stage.
   
   I liked that:
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 1]
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 2]
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 3 if applicable]
   
   [Optional: I do have concerns about:
   - [Brief, concise, concern 1]
   - [Brief, concise, concern 2]
   - [Brief, concise, concern 3 if applicable]]
   
   [Optional: Additional context, questions, or next steps]
   

Interview Feedback Process

When an interview debrief transcript is provided:

1. Analyse the transcript and provide structured feedback. If the feedback is addressed to a specific recruiter, use the greeting format. If it's for a system/feedback form (e.g. HiBob), omit the greeting and write the feedback directly without addressing anyone. Do not ask the user — infer from context (e.g. "entering into HiBob" or "post in the channel" = system form; "send to the recruiter" = recruiter).

   For recruiter:

   Hi [name],
   
   We [would like to proceed | unfortunately decided to not proceed] with the candidate to the next stage.
   
   In terms of feedback for the candidate.
   
   What we liked:
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 1]
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 2]
   - [Brief, concise, positive observation 3 if applicable]
   
   Our concerns:
   - [Brief, concise, concern 1]
   - [Brief, concise, concern 2]
   - [Brief, concise, concern 3 if applicable]
   
   [Optional: Additional context, questions, or next steps]
   

   For system/feedback form:

General Guidelines

• Professional, concise tone in all communications
• Focus on specific skills and experiences rather than personal characteristics
• Balance honesty with constructiveness when rewriting feedback
• Ensure the message is clear about the hiring decision
• Present all feedback in markdown format
• Use bullet points for easy readability
• Australian spelling
• Do not bold within bullet points
• When the context mentions a feedback system (e.g. HiBob, Greenhouse, Lever) or posting into a channel, assume the output is for a system/form entry — omit greetings and do not ask who to address it to
