+# Connectors
+
+## How tool references work
+
+Plugin files use `~~category` as a placeholder for whatever tool the user connects in that category. For example, `~~ATS` might mean Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or any other applicant tracking system with an MCP server.
+
+Plugins are **tool-agnostic** — they describe workflows in terms of categories (ATS, email, calendar, etc.) rather than specific products. The `.mcp.json` pre-configures specific MCP servers, but any MCP server in that category works.
+
+## Connectors for this plugin
+
+| Category | Placeholder | Included servers | Other options |
+|----------|-------------|-----------------|---------------|
+| ATS | `~~ATS` | Greenhouse, Lever | Ashby, Workday Recruiting, iCIMS, Jobvite, SmartRecruiters |
+| Calendar | `~~calendar` | Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 | Calendly |
+| Chat | `~~chat` | Slack | Microsoft Teams, Discord |
+| Cloud storage | `~~cloud storage` | — | Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint |
+| CRM | `~~CRM` | — | HubSpot, Salesforce, Bullhorn |
+| Data enrichment | `~~data enrichment` | Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn | Clearbit, ZoomInfo, Lusha, People Data Labs |
+| Email | `~~email` | Gmail, Microsoft 365 | — |
+| HRIS | `~~HRIS` | — | BambooHR, Workday, Rippling, Gusto |
+| Knowledge base | `~~knowledge base` | Notion, Atlassian (Confluence) | Guru, Slite, Coda |

+# Recruiting Plugin
+
+A recruiting and talent acquisition plugin primarily designed for [Cowork](https://claude.com/product/cowork), Anthropic's agentic desktop application — though it also works in Claude Code. Source candidates, screen resumes, design interviews, run debriefs, write job descriptions, and manage your hiring pipeline. Works with any recruiting team — standalone with web search and your input, supercharged when you connect your ATS, email, and other tools.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+claude plugins add knowledge-work-plugins/recruiting
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+Explicit workflows you invoke with a slash command:
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `/source` | Build a targeted sourcing strategy — channels, Boolean strings, outreach angles |
+| `/screen` | Screen a candidate against job requirements — fit matrix, signals, and recommendation |
+| `/interview-prep` | Generate interview questions, scorecards, and loop structure for a role |
+| `/debrief` | Synthesize interview feedback into a structured hiring recommendation |
+| `/pipeline-review` | Analyze pipeline health — conversion rates, bottlenecks, and action plan |
+| `/write-jd` | Write or improve a job description with inclusive language and clear requirements |
+| `/outreach` | Draft personalized candidate outreach messages with research-backed hooks |
+| `/offer-prep` | Prepare and analyze a compensation offer with market benchmarks |
+
+All commands work **standalone** (paste resumes, JDs, notes, or describe your situation) and get **supercharged** with MCP connectors.
+
+## Skills
+
+Domain knowledge Claude uses automatically when relevant:
+
+| Skill | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `candidate-evaluation` | Structured rubrics and scorecards for consistent, evidence-based assessment with bias mitigation |
+| `interview-design` | Build interview loops with competency coverage mapping and format selection |
+| `job-architecture` | Leveling frameworks, competency models, and role scoping across functions |
+| `market-intelligence` | Talent market conditions, compensation benchmarks, and competitor intel |
+| `pipeline-analytics` | Funnel metrics, conversion rates, time-to-fill analysis, and bottleneck diagnosis |
+| `sourcing-strategy` | Boolean strings, channel mix optimization, and passive candidate engagement |
+| `diversity-recruiting` | Inclusive hiring practices, bias mitigation, and diverse sourcing strategies |
+| `employer-branding` | EVP messaging, job marketing, and candidate experience optimization |
+
+## Example Workflows
+
+### Writing a Job Description
+
+```
+/write-jd
+```
+
+Describe the role you're hiring for. Get a polished job description with clear requirements, inclusive language, and a compelling pitch. If your knowledge base is connected, it pulls your company's JD template and values.
+
+### Screening a Candidate
+
+```
+/screen
+```
+
+Paste a resume and job description. Get a structured fit matrix scoring every dimension, strong signals, gaps, recruiter screen questions, and a clear advance/hold/pass recommendation.
+
+### Building a Sourcing Plan
+
+```
+/source
+```
+
+Describe the role and target profile. Get a multi-channel sourcing strategy with Boolean search strings, outreach templates, and channel prioritization based on the talent market.
+
+### Running a Debrief
+
+```
+/debrief
+```
+
+Paste interview feedback from your panel. Get a synthesized recommendation with dimension-by-dimension analysis, consensus view, and a clear hire/no-hire recommendation with reasoning.
+
+### Researching the Market
+
+Just ask naturally:
+```
+What's the market rate for a senior backend engineer in Austin?
+```
+
+The `market-intelligence` skill triggers automatically and gives you compensation benchmarks, talent supply data, and competitive landscape.
+
+### Improving Your Pipeline
+
+```
+/pipeline-review
+```
+
+Paste pipeline data or describe your funnel. Get conversion rates benchmarked against industry standards, bottleneck diagnosis, and a prioritized action plan.
+
+## Standalone + Supercharged
+
+Every command and skill works without any integrations:
+
+| What You Can Do | Standalone | Supercharged With |
+|-----------------|------------|-------------------|
+| Screen candidates | Paste resume + JD | ATS MCP (e.g. Greenhouse, Lever) |
+| Write job descriptions | Describe the role | Knowledge base MCP (templates, values) |
+| Build sourcing plans | Describe target profile | Enrichment MCP (e.g. Apollo, Clay) |
+| Design interviews | Describe role + competencies | Knowledge base MCP (rubrics, guides) |
+| Run debriefs | Paste interview feedback | ATS MCP (scorecards, history) |
+| Draft outreach | Web search + your context | Email, Enrichment MCPs |
+| Analyze pipeline | Paste data or describe funnel | ATS MCP (live pipeline data) |
+| Prep offers | Describe role + candidate | HRIS MCP (comp bands, approvals) |
+
+## MCP Integrations

+
+## Settings
+
+Create a local settings file at `recruiting/.claude/settings.local.json` to personalize:
+
+```json
+{
+  "company": "Your Company",
+  "industry": "Your Industry",
+  "team_size": "Approximate headcount",
+  "hiring_bar": "Key attributes your company values",
+  "interview_process": "Your standard interview loop structure",
+  "tools": {
+    "ats": "Greenhouse",
+    "hris": "Workday"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The plugin will ask you for this information interactively if it's not configured.

+argument-hint: "<candidate name or interview notes>"
+---
+
+# Interview Debrief
+
+> If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../CONNECTORS.md).
+
+Synthesize feedback from multiple interviewers into a structured hiring recommendation. Surfaces consensus, disagreements, and evidence gaps to drive a productive debrief conversation.
+
+## Input
+
+The user provides one or more of:
+- Individual interviewer scorecards or notes (pasted, uploaded, or described)
+- Candidate name and role
+- Interview panel composition
+- Any known concerns or highlights from the hiring manager
+
+If no feedback is provided, ask: "Share the interview feedback — paste scorecards, notes from each interviewer, or describe the signals from the panel."
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Collect feedback** — Parse all interviewer input, attributing each signal to its source
+2. **Map to competencies** — Organize feedback by the competencies being evaluated, not by interviewer
+3. **Identify consensus** — Flag areas where all interviewers agree (both positive and negative)
+4. **Surface disagreements** — Highlight competencies where interviewers diverge, with each side's evidence
+5. **Find evidence gaps** — Note competencies that were insufficiently tested or have conflicting signals
+6. **Assess against the bar** — Compare the composite signal against the role's hiring bar
+7. **Generate recommendation** — Produce a clear recommendation with confidence level
+8. **Prepare debrief agenda** — Structure the debrief discussion to focus on disagreements and gaps first
+
+## Output Structure
+
+```
+## Debrief Summary: [Candidate Name] → [Role Title]
+
+### Panel
+| Interviewer | Stage | Overall rating |
+|-------------|-------|---------------|
+| [Name] | [Stage] | [Rating] |
+| ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Competency Heatmap
+
+| Competency | [Interviewer 1] | [Interviewer 2] | [Interviewer 3] | Consensus |
+|------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|-----------|
+| [Comp 1] | ✅ Strong | ✅ Positive | ⚠️ Mixed | Positive |
+| [Comp 2] | ❌ Concern | ⚠️ Mixed | ❌ Concern | Concern |
+| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Areas of Consensus
+**Strengths**: [What everyone agrees is strong, with evidence]
+**Concerns**: [What everyone agrees is a gap, with evidence]
+
+### Areas of Disagreement
+**[Competency]**: [Interviewer A] saw [X signal] while [Interviewer B] saw [Y signal]. This likely reflects [possible explanation]. **Discuss in debrief.**
+
+### Evidence Gaps
+- [Competency not adequately tested — suggest follow-up]
+
+### Recommendation: [Strong Hire / Hire / No Hire / Strong No Hire]
+**Confidence**: [High / Medium / Low]
+**Reasoning**: [2-3 sentences synthesizing the overall signal]
+
+### Debrief Discussion Guide
+1. **Start with**: [Key disagreement to resolve]
+2. **Then discuss**: [Evidence gap to address]
+3. **Decision point**: [What would move this from X to Y?]
+```
+
+## With Connectors
+
+- **If ATS connected**: Pull submitted scorecards directly, update candidate disposition after the debrief
+- **If chat connected**: Post the debrief summary to the hiring channel, notify the hiring manager
+- **If calendar connected**: Check the scheduled debrief time and attendees
+
+## Tips
+
+- Best results when you have written feedback from every interviewer in the loop
+- Include the role's leveling expectations if the decision hinges on "is this a senior or staff?"
+- Flag if any interviewer has a known bias toward certain backgrounds or styles
