Setup

How to configure this playbook

  1. 01

    Define criteria

    Turn the role requirements into observable, job-related evidence.

  2. 02

    Restrict access

    Give Taskilo access only to applicants for the selected role.

  3. 03

    Audit the shortlist

    Review citations, missing evidence, and inconsistent scoring.

  4. 04

    Approve communication

    Keep all candidate messages in draft until a person approves them.

Starter instruction

Give Talent Scout a clear first brief.

Review candidates for the selected role using only the job-related criteria I provide. Quote the application evidence that supports each criterion, identify missing evidence, and create a shortlist for human review. Ignore protected characteristics. Draft introductions only after I approve the shortlist, and do not reject or contact anyone automatically.

Adjust names, sources, and approval limits before the first run.

Make it yours

Start with this plan, then teach Taskilo your way of working.
