hiring-loop-design SKILL.md skillA
hiring-loop-design from event4u-app/agent-config is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when shaping an engineering hiring loop — stages, take-home vs live, calibration, bar-raiser, signal-vs-noise audit. Triggers on 'design our interview loop', 'audit our hiring bar'.
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-loop-design ## When to use - A first engineering hiring loop is being designed (early-stage co, first dedicated EM, first PM hire) and the question is *what stages, in what order, with what signal each*. - An existing loop is producing inconsistent outcomes (high false-positive rate, high false-negative rate, long time-to-hire) and the question is *which stage to fix*. - A new role family inside engineering is opening (first staff IC, first SRE, first ML eng) and the question is *what does the loop look like for this archetype*. Do NOT use this for non-engineering hiring as the primary surface (sales / GTM hiring is a different loop shape entirely), as a sourcing / recruiting-pipeline skill (separate surface area), or for applicant-tracking-system configuration. ## Cognition cluster - **Mental model 1 — First principles.** Strip hiring to: *what signal does each stage produce that no other stage can produce?* Stages that duplicate signal waste candidate-time and interviewer-time. The strongest loops have one stage per signal, not five stages probing the same thing. See [`mental-models.md`](../../../docs/contracts/mental-models.md) § 1. …

How to install
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/hiring-loop-design@sha256:b4ae3c1d6b31ce17The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.ae6782f, 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.
