## Prompt

```text
Write a candidate submittal summary to send to a hiring manager.

**Role and its must-haves:** [LIST]
**Candidate's resume:** [PASTE or key points]
**My screening notes:** [PASTE - what they said, examples, motivation]
**Logistics:** [pay expectations, notice period, location, work authorization status, other interviews in progress]
**Hiring manager's style:** [e.g. "reads on phone, wants 5 lines", "likes detail"]

Format:
1. Headline: one sentence on why this person is worth meeting.
2. Fit to must-haves: a table with Must-have | Evidence from resume or screen | Strength (Strong / Partial / Gap).
3. Motivation: why they're open to a move and what they care about.
4. Concerns or gaps, stated honestly, with what to probe in the interview.
5. Logistics and urgency (competing offers, availability).
6. My recommendation and suggested interview slots.

Rules: keep it under 250 words, use only facts from my notes (mark anything unclear as [CONFIRM]), and leave out details unrelated to the job such as age, family status, or photos.
