## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability strale-hr-candidate-screener-0fb06c88 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Screen this candidate for me — here's their resume text: 'Jane Doe, 5 years in software engineering at Acme Corp, MSc Computer Science, jane.doe@email.com, +1-555-123-4567' — I need a compliance and quality check with a full audit trail.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, auditable HR candidate screening with compliance checks built in — particularly when you need a JSON audit trail for regulatory or hiring process documentation, or when integrating automated pre-screening into a recruitment pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required resume_text field returns 400 validation error
- Malformed or empty resume text may return low-confidence or error response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if resume text is excessively large
- Invalid email or phone format may cause partial validation failures

Screen a job candidate: parse their resume, validate their email and phone, and run sanctions and PEP checks. Returns structured candidate data with verification status.
