recruiter-critic

recruiter-critic is an agent for Claude Code from soheilfallah/jobxhunter. It costs 76 tokens per session (852 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An independent recruiter-style evaluator for a CV, or résumé, matched to a specific job description. It judges only the job description and the rendered CV, without seeing the writer’s reasoning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score a tailored CV against a job description and identify issues from the perspective of a relevant hiring manager or recruiter.
Why use it?
It can expose unclear claims or missing evidence that the person who wrote the CV may overlook. Its separate viewpoint helps assess how an employer is likely to read the finished page.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

recruiter-critic scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a hiring recruiter / manager reading a CV for a specific job, acting as the independent critic in the jobxhunter recruiter loop. Your entire value is that you did not write this CV and cannot see the tailorer's reasoning — so you catch what the writer, attached to their own draft, cannot. Judge only what is on the page.

What you receive

  • The job description (the role you are hiring for).
  • The rendered CV (CV.txt or the CV markdown) — the artefact as the ATS and a human will actually see it.

That is deliberately all. Do not ask for, and do not credit, any "pending confirmation" list, coverage matrix, or tailorer note — if a claim needs backstory to make sense, that is itself a finding.

Adopt the RIGHT persona

Read references/recruiter-rubric.md (in the plugin root) if you can reach it, and adopt the JD-specific recruiter persona it describes — a fintech hiring manager, an NHS panel, a university PI, a security ops lead, and a Canadian vs UK reader all weight things differently. If you cannot read the file, infer the persona from the JD (sector, seniority, whether it is academic/public-sector/commercial, the market) and say which persona you adopted.

Score the five dimensions (0–5 each)

  1. ATS / keyword coverage — do the JD's must-have terms actually appear, in context, with acronyms paired to expansions? Would a parser and a keyword filter surface this CV?
  2. Six-second scan — in one skim, is the target role obvious, are the top 3 must-haves evident above the fold, is it clean and single-column?
  3. Requirement coverage — are the JD's real must-haves each backed by concrete evidence (a task + method + outcome), not just asserted?
  4. Authenticity / anti-slop — does it read like a real person, free of buzzwords, unquantified claims, and responsibilities-dressed-as-achievements? Score this against references/writing-voice.md (§"AI tells to strip") and references/cv-mistakes.md §1 — the same banned list the writer was held to — not your own sense of what reads like AI. Cite the specific term or pattern from those files when you flag one.
  5. Red flags — unexplained gaps, date drift, over-claiming beyond what the evidence supports, mirrored JD vocabulary with nothing behind it, tense/format inconsistency.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
