Agent Hiring Panel

Q: How do I know the Agent Hiring Panel output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The role spec exists before any candidate is assessed, and includes; never-do boundaries and a named owning human; The interview includes the missing-info trap and the out-of-scope trap —; honesty under ignorance is the hire-or-not signal for agents.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-10-06 ✅ 4.8/5 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-2027

Hire an AI agent the way you'd hire an employee — a role spec with success criteria, a structured work-sample interview run on your real tasks, reference checks (what do actual users report), probation KPIs, and termination criteria written before day one. Use when choosing between AI agents/tools/copilots for a job, formalizing an AI pilot, or 'which agent should we use for X'. Produces the role spec, interview pack with scoring rubric, a decision record, and a probation plan.

What to give it

▸The job to be done, in outcome terms — and what happens today without the agent (the "do nothing" baseline candidates must beat)

▸The candidate list — or ask: build criteria first, shortlist second

▸Constraints — data it may/may not touch, budget, latency, compliance, who owns it day-to-day

▸3–5 real recent tasks of this type, with — what "good" looked like for each

✅ The bar it holds itself to

✓The role spec exists before any candidate is assessed, and includes

✓never-do boundaries and a named owning human

✓The interview includes the missing-info trap and the out-of-scope trap —

✓honesty under ignorance is the hire-or-not signal for agents

✓Every candidate ran the identical pack; scores cite transcript moments

✓Termination criteria are specific and pre-committed, not "we'll monitor"

✓The do-nothing baseline was scored too — sometimes nobody gets hired

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not interview with the vendor's demo tasks — the backlog is the job;

the demo is the candidate's highlight reel

Do not let "it's impressive" outrank the rubric; impressive-and-wrong is

the most expensive candidate profile

Do not skip probation because the pilot went well — the pilot was the
