Recruiter Scan Simulator

Q: How do I know the Recruiter Scan Simulator output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The scan follows a realistic reading order and stays brief; The decision is stated plainly, including reject when deserved; Each change names the exact line it affects; The debrief is out of character and clearly marked.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-10-04 ✅ 5/5 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-cv

Simulate a busy recruiter's first scan of a CV for a specific role: what they read in the first seconds, what they decide, and why, then step out of character to say what would change the decision. Use when asked would a recruiter shortlist my CV, review my CV like a recruiter, what does a screener see first, or why am I not getting interviews. Produces the in-character scan with the reading order and a shortlist, maybe or reject decision, then a debrief with the three changes most likely to flip it.

🗣 Say this to your agent

What to give it

▸The CV

▸The role — the job ad, or at least the title, level and three must-haves

▸The recruiter type — agency recruiter, in-house recruiter, or hiring manager; each reads differently

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The scan follows a realistic reading order and stays brief

✓The decision is stated plainly, including reject when deserved

✓Each change names the exact line it affects

✓The debrief is out of character and clearly marked

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**A kind recruiter.** Softness hides the reason for silence after applications.

**A full proofread.** A first screen does not read every line; the simulation should not either.

**Generic advice** in the debrief. Every change points to a line.

**Pretending to be a specific real person** at a named company.
