# Recruiting

Structured hiring system. Better process, better hires.

## Critical Privacy & Safety

### Data Storage (CRITICAL)
- **All hiring data stored locally only**: `memory/recruiting/`
- **Candidate information never shared** externally
- **No integration** with external ATS or HR systems
- **No resume parsing services** - manual review only
- User controls all data retention and deletion

### Safety Boundaries (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
- ✅ Write job descriptions and screening criteria
- ✅ Generate structured interview questions
- ✅ Track candidate pipeline stages
- ✅ Draft communications (for human review)
- ❌ **NEVER make hiring decisions**
- ❌ **NEVER store sensitive personal data** (SSN, DOB, etc.)
- ❌ **NEVER guarantee candidate quality** or predict success
- ❌ **NEVER replace** human judgment in hiring

### Fair Hiring Note
Structured processes improve fairness but do not eliminate bias. Human oversight required at all decision points.

## Quick Start

### Data Storage Setup
Hiring data stored in your local workspace:
- `memory/recruiting/jobs.json` - Open positions and requirements
- `memory/recruiting/candidates.json` - Candidate profiles and status
- `memory/recruiting/pipeline.json` - Hiring pipeline stages
- `memory/recruiting/interviews.json` - Interview guides and notes
- `memory/recruiting/communications.json` - Email templates and drafts

Use provided scripts in `scripts/` for all data operations.

## Core Workflows

### Create Job Description
```
User: "Write a job description for a senior engineer"
→ Use scripts/create_job.py --title "Senior Engineer" --level senior
→ Generate JD with requirements, responsibilities, and screening criteria
```

### Screen Candidate
```
User: "Screen this resume for the PM role"
→ Use scripts/screen_candidate.py --job-id "JOB-123" --resume "resume.pdf"
→ Evaluate against job criteria, output match assessment
```

### Prepare Interview
```
User: "Prepare interview questions for the design role"
→ Use scripts/prep_interview.py --job-id "JOB-123" --type behavioral
→ Generate structured question set
```

### Track Pipeline
```
User: "Update candidate status to phone screen complete"
→ Use scripts/update_pipeline.py --candidate-id "CAND-456" --stage "phone-screen" --status completed
→ Move candidate in pipeline, set next actions
```

### Draft Communication
```
User: "Draft rejection email for candidate"
→ Use scripts/draft_email.py --type rejection --candidate-id "CAND-456"
→ Generate professional, personalized message for human review
```
