Human Resources: Candidate Screening Packet Review with Claude Code: Cost Controls
A production playbook for candidate screening packet review in human resources operations using Claude Code: cost controls, 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
Set explicit limits for candidate screening packet review: input size, run time, tool calls, artifacts, retries, and concurrent runs per organization.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
Limits reject pathological runs, but they keep one workflow from turning into an unbounded infrastructure bill. 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.
Run limits
max_run_seconds=1800
max_input_bytes=104857600
max_artifact_bytes=104857600
max_tool_calls=120
retry_after_seconds=60
