## 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-screening-046c87f1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Screen this candidate for me — here's their resume text: 'Jane Doe, 5 years of software engineering experience at Acme Corp...', their email is jane.doe@example.com, and their phone is +1-555-123-4567.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need automated, auditable HR candidate pre-screening at scale without building your own CV parsing and evaluation pipeline. It is especially suited for agentic HR workflows where a cryptographic audit trail is required for compliance, and when you want a single REST/MCP/x402 call to return a structured candidate assessment. Prefer this over generic LLM prompting when you need consistent, structured output with an auditable record per screening call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required resume_text field returns validation error
- Malformed email or phone number may cause parsing issues or be ignored
- Empty or very short resume text may produce low-confidence or incomplete screening results
- Network or upstream provider errors may return 5xx responses
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure blocks the call

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

Returns a structured candidate screening evaluation derived from the resume text, email, and phone inputs, along with an immutable audit record containing a cryptographic chain hash for traceability and compliance.
