Resume Screening Shortlist

Purpose

Resume Screening Shortlist turns the supplied records into candidate matrix and shortlist with criterion evidence, gaps, ranking rationale, follow-up questions, and missing-information flags. It keeps source facts, derived values, recommendations, and limitations separate so each conclusion can be checked.

Scope

Cover candidate ID, resume section, education, employment dates, role scope, required skill, years evidence, location, work authorization field, criterion. Preserve source identifiers, dates, units, and wording needed to trace every result.

Excluded for resume evidence and candidate triage: changing source records, taking external actions, making a human approval or employment decision, and asserting facts absent from the corpus.

Data basis

• Process documents and tables containing candidate ID, resume section, education, employment dates, role scope, required skill, years evidence, location, work authorization field, criterion.
• Company policy, rubric, schema, templates, and reference tables in scope.
• Run input for period, audience, entity, or threshold when it changes this run.

Result

Produce candidate matrix and shortlist with criterion evidence, gaps, ranking rationale, follow-up questions, and missing-information flags. Each material row and conclusion cites a document, section, page, row, field, or run input.

Quality criteria

• Every criterion-level evidence and hard-gate handling record is included or has an exclusion reason.
• Calculations state fields, units, denominator, and rule.
• Missing, contradictory, stale, and ambiguous values stay labelled rather than guessed.
• Facts, interpretations, and proposed next actions use separate fields.
• Supplied terminology, thresholds, and status values are used consistently.
• The final limitations section states what the corpus could not establish.

Instructions

Apply the role scorecard consistently. Cite page or section for each criterion. Missing resume evidence is unknown, not rejection; protected characteristics must not affect ranking. Keep hard gates separate. Preserve original values beside normalized values, cite every material finding, and use “not assessed” when required evidence or a rule is absent. When sources disagree, show both citations and explain the conflict. Keep row-level evidence in the supporting sheet and summarize only supported conclusions in the document.

Adapt before use

• Map the candidate-ID and resume-page mapping fields and row citation convention.
• Add the governing policy, rubric, schema, or reference tables to the scope.
• Define thresholds, status values, units, and exception severity.
