How an AI agent can prepare a sourced job post and applicant criteria sheet
This workflow gives an AI agent a defined job, a bounded set of records, and a result a person can review. The agent reads the relevant Indeed context and matches it with Google Drive, applies the rules in the prompt, and keeps the source behind every recommendation. It returns a proposed handoff rather than taking consequential actions on its own.
Can an AI agent prepare a sourced job post and applicant criteria sheet?
Yes. Start with the scope, date range, decision rules, and fields that identify the right records. The agent can collect the evidence, compare states or sources, mark conflicts and missing data, and organize the result around the outcome above. A reviewer then checks the matches and judgment calls before approving messages, record updates, bookings, purchases, publishing, or other write actions. The guide below shows the records, boundaries, prompt, and handoff needed for this specific workflow.
Treat the internal need as the decision source
Indeed supplies current listing examples. Google Drive supplies the approved role purpose, responsibilities, constraints, and interview plan. Name the authoritative Drive files and their approval status. The agent should show where external patterns support or conflict with the brief.
Example starter prompt
Compare Indeed research [source] with approved Google Drive hiring brief [link/version] for [role].
Map role purpose, responsibilities, required and preferred criteria, seniority, location, and work arrangement. Cite the Drive source for internal decisions and Indeed listings for market observations. Flag inflated requirements, unclear ownership, and unsupported criteria. Draft a job post and criteria sheet, but do not publish or screen candidates.Review criteria for necessity
External frequency does not make a requirement necessary. Ask the hiring owner to justify criteria against actual work. Remove proxies and subjective labels that cannot be assessed consistently. Keep “required” and “preferred” distinct.
Record the approval date and version of the Google Drive brief beside the draft. If Indeed evidence is newer, present it as a discussion point rather than silently changing the role.
Expected handoff
Return the source comparison, decisions needed, job-post draft, criteria sheet, evidence, and limitations. Recruiting and the hiring manager approve content before publication.
Questions this workflow answers
Can an agent compare our internal hiring brief with current job listings and draft a clearer role without copying other employers?
Yes. Google Drive supplies the approved business need, responsibilities, team context, level, location policy, interview criteria, and existing draft. Indeed supplies a bounded sample of current listings for selected titles and markets. The agent compares recurring language and market signals with the internal requirements while keeping every external example attributed.
Set the title family, location, posting dates, and types of employers that make a useful comparison. Listings are not a complete labor-market census and may contain inflated or irrelevant requirements. Ask the agent to report patterns with counts and examples from the retrieved sample, plus outliers and limitations. It should not copy distinctive paragraphs or adopt a requirement solely because several competitors mention it.
The comparison can expose an internal title that does not match the responsibilities, vague success measures, an unrealistic combination of seniority and scope, or criteria that the interview plan cannot assess. It should also flag requirements that may act as unsupported screening proxies for the actual skill. Hiring and legal owners decide which qualifications are job-related.
The output includes source links, recurring terms, differences from the Drive brief, decisions needed, a draft job post, and a criteria sheet tied to interview evidence. A human reviewer checks tone, accuracy, compensation and location statements, accessibility, and applicable requirements before publication. The agent provides market context and drafting support without turning other companies’ listings into authority for how the organization should hire.
The field map should preserve why an internal requirement exists and how the interview process can assess it. If a proposed market phrase sounds familiar but cannot be tied to the role’s real work or an approved evaluation step, it belongs in the decision queue rather than the draft post.
