Job Spec & Hiring Agent
Benchmarks a role, writes the spec, and builds the interview scorecard.
By Mark Barclay · Last updated
Bad hires usually trace back to a job spec that listed duties instead of outcomes, and interviews that were four people asking the same four questions. This agent fixes both in one run.
Key takeaways
- •Defines outcomes for the first 12 months, not a list of duties.
- •Produces one structured interview question per competency.
- •Includes a rubric so different interviewers score the same way.
- •Writes the public advert only once you approve the kit.

How does the Job Spec & Hiring Agent actually run?

What's the difference between an AI Agent and an AI Assistant?
An AI Assistant is a conversation: you ask, it answers. An AI Agent is a program: you give it an input, it executes a multi-step plan on its own — fetching, extracting, scoring, drafting — and returns a finished deliverable. Where the Job Spec & Hiring Agent would produce something you'd send or publish, it stops and waits for your approval first.
Is it safe to use with business data?
Yes, within sensible limits. The agent only sees what you paste or the public URLs you supply, it runs on business-tier models that don't train on your inputs, and it never gains write access to your systems. Any draft it produces stays on your screen until you choose to use it. Don't paste anything you wouldn't share with an external consultant.
