This is your desk, a week from now. Halcourt isn’t a real firm and nobody in it is a real person, so click anything — you can’t break it and you can’t email anyone. Work down the left in the order your week already runs: source a role, work the shortlist including what got dropped, send the message it wrote for you, answer the replies, move people through stages. Open any candidate to see why it scored them the way it did.Move through the six screens with the menu up top — they run in the order your week does. Tap any candidate for the reasoning behind the score.
The job goes in, a ranked list comes out. It reads what you wrote the way you wrote it, searches the market, drops anyone who breaks one of your rules, and scores everyone else line by line — with the reason attached, so you can argue with it.

Closest match in the set. Every must-have is on the record, and the $50M+ threshold isn't close — hers is four times it. The soft spot is timing, not fit: she stepped up just over a year ago, so the opener has to be worth reading.
This is a fit ranking, not an interest list. None of these people have told anyone they’re looking. The engine reads what’s public and scores it against your brief — whether they pick up is still your job, and the message on the third screen is written to earn that.
