Common failure mode

  • - Allied resumes include broad clinical language that can blur lane boundaries.
  • - Single-pass similarity ranking can surface candidates from adjacent disciplines.
  • - Users lose trust quickly when role intent and results do not align.

Recommended scoring structure

  • - First pass: lane eligibility based on role-family evidence.
  • - Second pass: fit score inside the eligible lane only.
  • - Third pass: open-question generation for incomplete evidence.

What this improves

  • - Cleaner shortlist relevance by requested role.
  • - Fewer recruiter escalations caused by obvious lane mismatch.
  • - Higher confidence in packet handoff quality.

Method and limits

This guidance combines public market signals with Relay role templates. It is a workflow optimization resource and should be used alongside standard credential and background procedures.
