A recruiting manager has 60 applications for a single role. She wants to upload them to Claude and use its ranking to decide which five candidates to interview. What is the most appropriate use of Claude?

Answer: C — Use Claude to help build a criteria-based screening guide, with the hiring panel choosing whom to interview.

Selecting candidates is a high-stakes decision about people that carries fairness and legal obligations, so an accountable human must make it; Claude can support the process (c). Letting Claude rank and decide (a) puts it in the decision seat and risks hidden bias. Self-rated confidence (b) doesn't change who is accountable or whether the ranking is fair. Total avoidance (d) throws away legitimate supporting uses.
