What to provide

The job ad, the essential criteria list and the screening rubric.

Workflow

  1. List the essential criteria stated in the ad.
  2. Map each criterion to a rubric item.
  3. Flag criteria the rubric never scores.
  4. Return the alignment map without editing the ad.

Output contract

Criterion | rubric item | scored | gap | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional ad lists 5 essential criteria; the rubric scores 4 and the right-to-work criterion appears nowhere in screening. Flag 1 missing criterion.

Review gates and limits

Re-check legal and eligibility criteria first; they cannot be optional. The map informs the recruiter; it never screens a candidate.
