Human Resources: Candidate Screening Packet Review with Claude Code: Build vs Buy Decision
A production playbook for candidate screening packet review in human resources operations using Claude Code: build vs buy decision, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Recruiting operations teams
The problem
Recruiting operations teams need candidate screening packet review to run repeatedly against resumes, interview notes, job descriptions, scorecards, and compliance rules. In human resources operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Compare the work required to operate candidate screening packet review: sandbox lifecycle, provider credentials, input injection, logs, artifact delivery, retries, and result validation.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
Building gives total control; buying the runtime compresses the path to a customer-facing workflow. For candidate screening packet review, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
Decision table
Build internally if you need bespoke infrastructure primitives.
Use Argo if you need candidate screening packet review as a product workflow: inputs, Claude Code, logs, result JSON, and artifacts.
Use both if a specialized sandbox must sit behind a stable run contract.
