VerdictDo not screen candidates with this. Its judgement is not good enough to put in front of a hiring decision.The strongest general model for hiring work — but only worth its price on the judgement-heavy steps, not on parsing.

Nothing candidate-facing

Watch out for
  • 16K context cannot hold a full CV plus a job spec plus a rubric
  • Materially higher error rate on structured extraction
  • Max effort is roughly 24× the cost of Mini — do not point bulk CV parsing at it
  • A frontier model is not a fairness guarantee: you still need audited rubrics and a human on the shortlist
  • Pricing is unpublished, so total cost of ownership is unmodellable today
