Simulate a busy recruiter's first scan of a CV for a specific role: what they read in the first seconds, what they decide, and why, then step out of character to say what would change the decision. Use when asked would a recruiter shortlist my CV, review my CV like a recruiter, what does a screener see first, or why am I not getting interviews. Produces the in-character scan with the reading order and a shortlist, maybe or reject decision, then a debrief with the three changes most likely to flip it.

# Recruiter Scan Simulator

A first screen is fast. A recruiter with two hundred applications reads the top third of page one, checks a few things against the brief, and decides. This simulator plays that recruiter honestly, for one role, then steps out of character to explain the decision and what would change it.

Part of the pm-cv bundle. Follows the library's simulator pattern: in character, then a debrief.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The scan**, in character: the order things were read, what each told the recruiter, the decision
- **The decision**: shortlist, maybe, or reject, with the reason in the recruiter's words
- **A debrief**, out of character: the three changes most likely to flip the decision
