Decision packets — what's in one

A printable 1-page brief composing everything AROS knows about a candidate — executive summary, recommendation, risk flags, interview guide.

A decision packet is a single page you can hand to anyone — hiring manager, owner, executive — to make a hire/no-hire call.

What it contains

  1. Executive Summary — 2–3 sentences.
  2. Hiring Recommendation — Strong Hire / Hire / Lean Hire / Hold / Not Recommended (computed, but visible reasoning).
  3. Scores at a Glance — composite + fit + similarity + human potential.
  4. Why this candidate might succeed — 3 reasons.
  5. Areas to validate — 3 specific things to dig into during interviews.
  6. Risk flags — anything outside the normal envelope (gap, layoff, pivot, etc.) with context.
  7. Human context — candidate's own answers to context questions, if asked.
  8. Interview guide — behavioral / skills / context questions, categorized.
  9. Recommended next action — schedule, share, pass.

Where to find one

  • Recruiter Mode: /app/employer/applications/<id>/packet
  • Compare two finalists side-by-side: /app/employer/packet/compare?ids=a,b

Printing

Use your browser's print dialog. We've added @media print CSS so the page formats cleanly on A4. No PDF dependencies.

Empty-state guardrail

If a candidate profile is incomplete (no skills, no employment history, no scores) we flag the packet as incomplete so a "Not Recommended" doesn't get misread as a true negative.
