How to use Candidate Screener in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok

Claude upload

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. In Claude, open Settings (or Customize), then Skills, then Upload.
  3. Upload the skill ZIP as it is. Don't unzip it.
  4. Check it is switched on.
  5. Test it: start a new chat and type Use candidate-screener, then paste what you have.

Team and Enterprise owners may need to allow skills first.

ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu upload

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. In the sidebar, click Plugins, then the Skills tab.

  4. ChatGPT scans it, then uses it on its own or when you @ mention it.

ChatGPT Plus, Pro or Free paste

  1. Copy the SKILL.md text from the skill's source page (ChatGPT).

Questions

Is the Candidate Screener skill free?

The skill file is published openly by Michal Juhas. It needs: nothing (works on pasted text).

Does Candidate Screener work in Gemini?

Yes. Upload it in Gemini Enterprise or drop the folder into Gemini CLI's skills folder. In the regular Gemini app, paste its instructions into a Gem.

Can I trust it with my data?

It has no scripts and sends nothing anywhere. Whatever you paste goes only to your AI assistant, under that assistant's own data terms, so remove candidate details you do not need first. It can still steer how the assistant answers, so read it before you use it.
