The prompt
Screen these applicants against my scorecard: [paste criteria, then paste each resume]. For every candidate and criterion, quote the exact resume line that counts as evidence, mark gaps as GAP, and leave a HUMAN DECISION column empty for me. Do not recommend hiring or rejecting anyone.What to bring
Twenty applicants for one role means twenty files, your scorecard open in another tab, and a decision you have to defend later. By applicant twelve the evidence blurs and the notes stop being consistent.
What a good run returns
A Google Sheet in a Recruiter Screening Workspace folder: candidate, criterion, evidence, gap and a human-decision column. Every score shows the evidence it rests on.
Where the free version ends
A prompt runs when you remember to run it, from whatever context you paste, and it forgets the rules between sessions. The Screening Agent ($19 one-time) installs this as a standing workflow: fixed evidence rules, a saved output in your own Drive every run, fictional-data testing before real work, and hard stops before anything sends, spends or publishes.

Questions people ask
Is this prompt really free?

Which assistants does the prompt work in?
Any capable chat assistant: Instinct, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Town, Muse and others.
What is the difference between the free prompt and the $19 agent?
The prompt is a one-off: you re-paste the rules every run. The $19 agent is the same job productized - tested setup, saved files, consistent output, standing cycle.
