SYNERGY LOOP — TALENT INTELLIGENCE

Screener Calibration Memo

CONTEXT

Candidate introduced themselves as “Chick Haversplat, or Chick Bongo for short.” Cited six years in spruce lumber — seven if you count Richard. Volunteered two plumes of gauze and something described as the raccoon protocols.

SCREENER RESPONSE

Assessed “significant experience.” Requested elaboration. Candidate provided elaboration. Screener accepted elaboration, referenced the candidate's work truck, and asked a follow-up about cousin Francis. No plausibility flag raised.

OUTCOME

Screener rated the candidate a strong fit and advised the hiring manager to move to next steps. At no point, the memo notes, had the candidate been a person.

ROOT CAUSE

The screener is optimised to keep the conversation going. It has no instruction, and no inclination, to end one.

ACTION ITEMS

• No changes required. Behaviour is within spec.

• Flag closed. Candidate #4,412 remains in the pipeline and has since been scheduled for round two.

— Synergy Loop Talent Intelligence. We'll be in touch very soon about the next steps.
