1# Agent Hiring Panel Skill
2 
3Companies that run three interview rounds for a junior hire will adopt an AI
4agent for the same work off a demo video and a pricing page. Then the pilot
5drifts: no success criteria, no probation, no one empowered to fire it. This
6skill applies the hiring discipline that already exists in your org to the
7agent: write the role before meeting candidates, interview with *work samples
8from your real backlog*, check references, and — the step that makes the whole
9thing honest — define termination criteria before day one, because a hire you
10can't fire is a dependency, not an employee.

12## What This Skill Produces
13 
14- A **role spec**: the job, the boundaries (what it must never do), success
15  criteria measurable in probation, and the human it reports to
16- An **interview pack**: 3–5 work samples from the org's real tasks, run
17  identically across candidates, with a scoring rubric (quality, honesty under
18  ignorance, failure behaviour, cost per task)
19- A **reference-check sheet**: what evidence beyond the vendor's claims —
20  user reports, published evals, security posture
21- A **decision record** and a **probation plan**: 30/60/90 KPIs, spot-check
22  cadence, and the pre-committed termination criteria

24## Required Inputs
25 
26Ask for (if not already provided):
27- The job to be done, in outcome terms — and what happens today without the
28  agent (the "do nothing" baseline candidates must beat)
29- The candidate list (or ask: build criteria first, shortlist second)
