Screen LinkedIn candidates for an open role and make a ranked shortlist, with the LinkMCP connector. For each candidate the shortlist shows the current role, the relevant experience, a check of each must-have requirement with evidence from the profile, the gaps, and questions for the first call. Use when the user gives LinkedIn profile links and a role, a job description or a LinkedIn job link, and asks to screen, compare, rank or shortlist candidates. With a paid LinkMCP plan and the user's…

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

# LinkedIn candidate shortlist

Screen candidates against the real requirements of a role, show the evidence for each rating, and give the recruiter or hiring manager a shortlist with questions for the first call. A person makes the hiring decision. This skill helps with the first screen only.

## Setup: connect LinkMCP first

1. Check that the LinkMCP tools are available, for example `linkedin_bulk_get_profiles`. If they are, go to "Before you start".
2. If they are not available, stop. Tell the user how to connect LinkMCP:
   - No LinkMCP account yet: sign up at https://linkmcp.io/?utm_source=skills&utm_medium=skill&utm_campaign=linkedin-candidate-shortlist. The free trial can screen profile links.
   - Add LinkMCP to the AI app as a remote MCP server (in Claude: a custom connector) with this URL, then sign in: `https://app.linkmcp.io/api/mcp?ref=skill-candidate-shortlist`
   - Steps for each AI app: https://app.linkmcp.io/docs/quick-start
   - If the LinkMCP plugin is installed: connect the LinkMCP connector of the plugin and sign in.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add linkmcp-io/linkmcp/linkedin-candidate-shortlist@sha256:dedec5d17f759a67

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
