SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Re-rank Luke's spotted-roles queue to surface the highest-priority candidates for tailoring decisions, based on relative ranking across the full set.

Core Features & Use Cases

Comparative, round-based ranking across the entire queue to determine which roles merit a /tailor pass and in what order.
Light signal gathering via brief JDs when needed, with fallback to title/summary if a JD can't be fetched, keeping the pass fast.
Un-triaged handling and deadline awareness to surface imminent or ambiguous items for quick action while preserving the queue structure.

Quick Start

Run the sift pass on the current spotted queue to produce a prioritized order in spotted.md.

FAQPage Schema

How do I prioritize a talent sourcing queue by job description deadlines?▼

Prioritize a talent sourcing queue by applying comparative ranking rules to job descriptions, assigning top, second, or low priority tiers while surfacing imminent deadlines for quick action.

What is the best way to rank spotted roles when job descriptions cannot be fetched?▼

Rank spotted roles by falling back to the title and summary data to inform priority tiering when a job description cannot be fetched, keeping the processing pass fast.

How does comparative ranking work for un-triaged candidates in a queue?▼

Comparative ranking evaluates the entire queue in rounds to determine processing order, preserving the queue structure while surfacing un-triaged or ambiguous items for immediate action.

Can I use autonomy signals to filter candidates for tailored job descriptions?▼

Use autonomy signals alongside defined filters and tiering rules to assign priority levels, identifying which roles merit a tailored processing pass and in what order.

What happens to unverifiable items during queue prioritization?▼

Unverifiable items are flagged during queue prioritization alongside any ethical concerns, ensuring ambiguous roles are surfaced for manual review instead of being silently dropped.

Does this ranking approach require a full job description to assign priority tiers?▼

No, this ranking approach does not require a full job description, reading them lightly where available and falling back to title or summary data to maintain processing speed.
