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

recruiting-is-marketing 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.

Recruiting Is Marketing

R — 原文 (Reading)

"The marketing team must be as actively involved in recruiting a steady stream of potential employees as it is in attracting potential customers."

— Verne Harnish, Scaling Up, 第4章


I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

Scaling Up 打破了一个根深蒂固的误解:招聘是HR的被动工作。正确的认知是:招聘是营销职能的延伸——你需要像推广产品一样推广你的雇主品牌,像管理销售渠道一样管理人才管道。

具体而言,招聘应该做到20:1的申请者-职位比例,才能确保有足够高质量的候选人可供筛选。如果你的招聘渠道只能收到5:1的比例,说明你的雇主品牌或职位呈现方式有系统性问题。

核心转变:从"等简历"到"造流量"。像营销漏斗一样管理招聘漏斗——内容吸引 → 管道培育 → 筛选转化。


A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1: HubSpot的招聘营销化

  • 问题: 早期HubSpot发现优质工程师候选人严重不足,被动等待简历质量低下。
  • 方法论的使用: 将营销团队重组,同时负责雇主品牌内容输出(技术博客、工程师文化视频、开发者社区运营),将候选人管道从5:1提升到30:1。
  • 结论: 内容营销同样适用于人才招聘。
  • 结果: 半年内 hired A 类工程师比例从30%提升到65%。

案例 2: 某连锁餐饮的人才管道重构

  • 问题: 店长招聘依赖58同城等传统渠道,来的人文化契合度低,三个月离职率超50%。
  • 方法论的使用: 创始团队开始在抖音、小红书发布"一天店长体验"视频,举办线下开放日,将申请者来源从被动等简历变为主动种草。
  • 结论: 餐饮业的雇主品牌建设同样可以通过内容实现。
  • 结果: 申请者数量增加4倍,三个月店长留存率提升到78%。

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 抱怨"人才难找"时:用户说"我们找了好几个月都没有合适的",说明招聘漏斗顶部出了问题。
  2. 扩张期需要大量招聘时:如新开门店、新上项目需要快速补人,现有渠道效率不足。
  3. 雇主品牌讨论时:在思考如何让候选人主动找上门而非靠猎头。
  4. 招聘预算分配时:在讨论猎头费用 vs 内部招聘渠道投入的优先级。
  5. 关键岗位长期空缺时:如CTO、销售总监等关键岗位空缺超过60天。

语言信号 (用户的话里出现这些就应激活)

  • "找不到合适的人……"
  • "候选人质量……"
  • "招聘渠道……"
  • "雇主品牌……"
  • "主动投递的太少"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • Hire Fewer, Higher Pay 的区别:少人高薪解决的是"招多少、付多少",这个解决的是"从哪里找到人才"。
  • Topgrading 的区别:Topgrading是面试方法,这个是招聘的战略定位——谁来负责招聘、招聘的渠道和流程怎么设计。

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

当 skill 被激活后,agent 应按以下步骤执行:

  1. 审计当前招聘漏斗效率

    • 统计过去6个月的申请者-职位比例(申请人数 ÷ 开放职位数)
    • 完成标准:得到一个明确的比例数字(<10:1 说明管道严重不足,>20:1 是健康目标)
  2. 识别招聘漏斗的阻断点

    • 漏斗诊断:候选人从哪里知道我们?→ 他们为什么想申请?→ 是什么让他们没有提交申请?
    • 判停条件:若用户已有明确的阻断假设(如"我们的JD写得太差了"),直接进入步骤3
  3. 设计主动招聘的渠道组合

    • 内容层:1-2个能长期输出雇主品牌内容的渠道(如技术博客、小红书、公众号)
    • 管道层:3-5个主动 sourcing 渠道(如linkedin定向搜索、行业社群、内部推荐奖励)
    • 完成标准:产出一份包含渠道、时间投入和预期产出的招聘营销计划

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 高度专业化的小众领域:如某些冷门研究方向,全球可能只有几十个合格候选人,营销漏斗逻辑不适用。
  • 初创期现金极度紧张时:内容营销和雇主品牌建设需要6-12个月才能见效,极缺现金时优先用猎头和内部推荐。
  • 只需要短期临时工时:季节性用工、一次性项目不需要建立持续的人才管道。
