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.
