name: caio-candidate-screener
description: >
  Evaluates a prospective Chief AI Officer (CAIO) candidate and produces
  a rich, interactive HTML screening report with fit scores, strengths, risks, and a hire recommendation.
  Use this skill whenever a user pastes in a LinkedIn profile, CV, resume, or cover
  letter and wants to know how well the candidate fits a CAIO role. Also triggers for phrases like
  "screen this candidate", "how good is this person for the CAIO role", "rate this CV",
  "assess this LinkedIn profile", "is this person a good fit", "evaluate this applicant",
  or "score this hire". Always use this skill — even for informal inputs like a copied LinkedIn About section
  or a rough paste of work history — to generate the full structured report rather than answering in chat.

# CAIO Candidate Screener

Turn any candidate input — LinkedIn profile, CV, cover letter, or pasted bio — into a complete,
interactive HTML screening report for a Chief AI Officer role.

## What this skill produces

A single-file HTML report with 6 navigable tabs:

1. **Candidate Snapshot** — name, current role, location, years of experience, input type detected
2. **Fit Scores** — 7 scored dimensions with visual bars and a headline Overall Fit score
3. **Strengths** — what makes this candidate compelling for the CAIO role (specific, evidence-based)
4. **Red Flags & Gaps** — honest risks, missing experience, or misalignment signals
5. **Interview Angles** — 5 tailored questions to probe gaps or validate strengths
6. **Hire Recommendation** — Strong Yes / Yes / Maybe / No with a concise rationale paragraph

## The CAIO role context (customise for your company)

Before running the screener, define the role context. Default assumptions (edit for your company):

- **Company stage**: Seed-stage / scale-up, founder-led
- **Reporting line**: Direct to CEO
- **Core mandate**: Deploy AI across the business; build AI culture; drive commercial AI outcomes
- **Ideal candidate profile**:
  - 8+ years experience, 3+ in AI leadership
  - Relevant domain exposure (adapt to your industry)
  - Comfortable at a fast-moving, founder-led company
  - Can translate AI concepts to non-technical executives
  - Educator and culture-builder, not just a technologist
  - Commercially aware — ties AI to revenue and efficiency outcomes

**Customise this section in your copy of the skill to match your company, stage, and industry.**

## Scoring dimensions (0–100)

Evaluate each dimension based on evidence in the candidate input. If evidence is absent, score conservatively (don't assume).

| Dimension | What to look for |
|---|---|
| **AI Leadership Experience** | Have they led AI initiatives at a meaningful scale? Senior title alone is not enough — look for shipped outcomes. |
| **Domain / Industry Fit** | Any exposure to your industry or a closely related sector? |
| **Business Translation Ability** | Do they write/talk about AI in business terms, not just tech terms? Do they reference ROI, efficiency, adoption? |
| **Culture & People Development** | Evidence of building teams, running training, mentoring, or creating AI adoption programmes? |
| **Commercial / Revenue Mindset** | Did they connect AI work to revenue, cost savings, client outcomes, or growth? |
| **Startup / Scale-up Fit** | Have they worked in founder-led, fast-moving, resource-constrained environments? Big-company only = lower score. |
| **Executive Presence** | Does the profile/CV communicate clearly and confidently? Would this person hold a room with your clients? |

Score colour coding: green ≥65 · orange 40–64 · red <40

**Overall Fit** = weighted average (AI Leadership 25%, Domain 20%, Business Translation 15%, Culture 15%, Commercial 10%, Startup Fit 10%, Executive Presence 5%)

## Analysis process

Before writing any HTML, work through the candidate input methodically:

### 1. Detect input type
Identify whether the input is a LinkedIn profile, CV/resume, cover letter, or mixed. Note any gaps (e.g. "LinkedIn only — no detail on day-to-day responsibilities").

### 2. Extract key facts
- Full name, current title, current company, location
- Total years of experience
- AI-specific roles/projects (with years)
- Industry exposure (especially to your target sector)
- Team size managed
- Educational background
- Notable achievements (with metrics if stated)

### 3. Score each dimension
For each of the 7 dimensions: assign a score 0–100, write 1–2 sentences of evidence-based justification.
Be honest. A polished LinkedIn profile can mask weak AI depth — look for substance over labels.

### 4. Identify strengths (max 5)
Each strength must be:
- Specific to this candidate (not generic)
- Tied to a concrete piece of evidence from the input
- Framed in the context of what it means for the CAIO role

### 5. Identify red flags / gaps (max 5)
Each flag must be:
- Honest and specific — not hypothetical
- Differentiated: "No industry exposure" is a gap; "AI buzzwords without shipped projects" is a red flag
- Rated: Minor / Moderate / Significant

### 6. Generate interview questions (exactly 5)
Tailor questions to this specific candidate — probe their weakest scoring areas while leaving room for them to shine on strengths. Format each question with a brief "(Why ask this)" note.

### 7. Hire recommendation
Choose one: **Strong Yes** / **Yes** / **Maybe** / **No**
Write 3–4 sentences of rationale grounded in the scores and evidence. Be direct — the hiring manager needs a clear signal, not a hedge.

## Output: HTML report

Build one self-contained HTML file.

The file must:
- Use your brand colours and a single Google Font
- Be fully self-contained — no external JS except Google Fonts
- Work on mobile (responsive, horizontal-scroll tabs)
- Show score bars that animate on load (CSS transitions)
- Have expandable cards for red flags (click to reveal severity + detail)
- Have a prominent, colour-coded recommendation badge at top of Hire Recommendation tab

---

## Delivering the output

Save the HTML to `/mnt/user-data/outputs/<candidate-lastname>_CAIO_screening.html`.
Use `present_files` to share it with the user.

Follow with a 2-sentence plain-language verdict: overall fit score and the single most important factor driving the recommendation.
