What it does

Recruiter Scan Simulator is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Recruiting and HR. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked would a recruiter shortlist my CV
  • Review my CV like a recruiter
  • What does a screener see first
  • Why am I not getting interviews

Example prompts

  • “/recruiter-scan-simulator”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Name, location and current title: does the location and level fit?
  2. The summary or first role: does it say the job title or something close?
  3. The most recent role's first two bullets: is there evidence of the must-haves?
  4. Dates: gaps, short stints, a timeline that adds up?
  5. A quick check for the brief's knock-outs: right to work, required qualification, years.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Recruiter Scan Simulator loads about 876 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~876

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Recruiter Scan Simulator

A first screen is fast. A recruiter with two hundred applications reads the top third of page one, checks a few things against the brief, and decides. This simulator plays that recruiter honestly, for one role, then steps out of character to explain the decision and what would change it.

Part of the pm-cv bundle. Follows the library's simulator pattern: in character, then a debrief.

What This Skill Produces

  • The scan, in character: the order things were read, what each told the recruiter, the decision
  • The decision: shortlist, maybe, or reject, with the reason in the recruiter's words
  • A debrief, out of character: the three changes most likely to flip the decision

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • 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

Framework

In character, read in the order a screener does:

  1. Name, location and current title: does the location and level fit?
  2. The summary or first role: does it say the job title or something close?
  3. The most recent role's first two bullets: is there evidence of the must-haves?
  4. Dates: gaps, short stints, a timeline that adds up?
  5. A quick check for the brief's knock-outs: right to work, required qualification, years.

Decide within that reading, as a real screener would. Speak briefly and plainly.

Out of character:

  • The decision and the specific line that drove it
  • Three changes ranked by likely effect, each specific to a line of the CV
  • What a human screener would not have noticed, so the person does not over-fix
Show full SKILL.md (183 more words)Show less

Output Format

Recruiter scan: [role]

In character

  • First read: [what was seen, in order, with the thought at each step]
  • Decision: shortlist / maybe / reject, "because ..."

Debrief

  1. The deciding line
  2. Three changes | Change | Line affected | Why it would flip the decision |
  3. Not worth fixing: things the person might worry about that did not matter

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

Anti-Patterns

  • 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.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Read my CV like a recruiter for this role. Would I get shortlisted?"
  • "Why am I not getting interviews? Screen my CV."
  • "What does a recruiter see in the first few seconds of my CV?"
  • "扮演招聘官看看我的简历能不能过初筛。"
