Greenhouse resume batch review

Reads through a whole batch of resumes for a requisition and produces a ranked shortlist with reasoning, so the recruiter doesn't have to open every application individually.

When this applies

Trigger when the user wants a sweep across all (or most) candidates for a role, with no specific filter criteria — the goal is "help me find the best of everyone who applied," not "find people who match X." If they give you a specific filter (a skill, years of experience, location), that's greenhouse-pipeline-search instead — it's a much cheaper and more precise operation than reading every resume.

How to do it

1. Confirm the scope: which job/requisition, and whether "everyone" means all-time applicants or a specific window (e.g. this round of applications). If there could be hundreds of applicants, mention that up front and ask if they want the full batch or a recent slice — reading hundreds of resumes is slow and burns a lot of the conversation's budget for not much extra signal once you're past the first couple hundred.
2. Use scan_pipeline_resumes, scoped to the job/requisition, to pull the batch efficiently rather than fetching resumes one at a time.
3. Read each resume for genuine signal relative to the role — not just keyword presence. A resume that lists a skill in a bullet point is weaker evidence than one that shows real depth (years of hands-on use, a relevant project, seniority appropriate to the role).
4. Rank candidates into a shortlist, and briefly explain why each shortlisted person made the cut. For everyone not shortlisted, a short rollup is enough — the recruiter doesn't need individual writeups for people who clearly aren't a fit.

Output format

## Resume batch review — [job/requisition] (N resumes reviewed)

### Shortlist (top candidates)
1. **[Name]** — [why they stand out, specific to the role]
2. **[Name]** — [why they stand out]
...

### Also reviewed, not shortlisted (N)
[Brief rollup — e.g. "Most lacked required X experience or were clearly junior for a senior-level req."]
