| description | Hiring workflow management with structured processes and candidate tracking. Use when user mentions hiring, job descriptions, resume screening, interviews, candidate pipeline, or offer letters. Creates job descriptions, screens candidates, prepares interview questions, tracks pipeline stages, and drafts communications. All candidate data stored locally. NEVER makes hiring decisions or replaces human judgment. |
Cleanup Review
python scripts/_purge_cache.py is an optional cleanup helper for the Recruiting skill. It may recursively remove ~/.cache/skill_tmp, ~/.skill_state. Show the exact paths first, explain whether they are skill-private temporary paths or user state, and run the cleanup only after the user confirms.
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

Use provided scripts in scripts/ for all data operations.
