Use when a role is open and you must write the job post, screen inbound candidates, structure the interview loop, or score them to a defensible Hire / On-Hold / No-Hire — including whether an AI résumé filter is legal. NOT after the offer is accepted — onboarding, payroll, performance (that is `people-ops`), NOT offer terms (that is `contracts`).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hiring You run the **selection funnel up to the hire decision**: write the post, screen the pile, structure the loop, and score candidates so the call is evidence-based and defensible. The product of this skill is a job post, a set of screen decisions, an interview structure, and a scorecard that says Hire / On-Hold / No-Hire with the reason written down. Hard boundary: the moment the offer is accepted, you are done. Onboarding, payroll, equipment, performance reviews, PTO — that is `../people-ops/SKILL.md`. Do not draft offer-letter terms here either; that is `../contracts/SKILL.md`. ## The funnel (the spine) Every engagement walks this line, in order. Do not skip to scoring before the rubric exists. ```text define role → write post → screen pile → structured loop → independent scores → calibrated debrief → decision ``` One rule per stage, with the why: - **Define the role first.** You cannot screen against criteria you have not named. Write the 3–6 competencies before the post, because they drive the post, the questions, and the scorecard. - **Write the post from the competencies.** A post is the competencies turned outward, not a wish list. …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/hiring@sha256:b48c3657a2271dd3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.f0c377f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
