• {{sourcing_platforms}}: The platforms you want to search (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed, GitHub).
• {{ranking_criteria}}: The criteria to rank candidates (e.g., years of experience, education, skill match).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Based on the {{specific_role}} and {{required_skills}}, generate a list of Boolean search strings or keywords to use on {{sourcing_platforms}}.
3. Describe the ideal candidate profile, including typical job titles, industries, and experience levels.
4. Provide a framework for ranking candidates based on {{ranking_criteria}}, including a scoring system.
5. Suggest alternative platforms or niche communities where such candidates might be found.
