Intermediary Dependent

Domain Specificity Over-Weighting

Interviewer requires exact vertical experience (e.g. adtech, crypto, specific payment processor) over deep transferable systems fundamentals.

Classification Facets

Actor Locus: hiring-manager
Nature: bias
Visibility: inferable
Removability: intermediary

Structural Funnel Gates (Barriers) Where Mechanism Operates

B-004: Recruiter Screening Call Stage: recruiter B-007: Hiring Manager In-Depth Review Stage: hiring-manager

Observable Signals Emitted (Artifacts)

A-002 Fidelity: euphemism
Generic "closer alignment" rejection template
A-008 Fidelity: direct
Explicit feedback citing skill-depth shortfall

Explicit Forensic Non-Inferences:

  • Transferable general engineering skills are not disproven by lack of specific proprietary protocol knowledge.

Causal Graph Relations

Amplifies (Increases likelihood of):
M-010: Hidden Evaluation Rubric or Undisclosed Priority
Masks (Provides plausible cover for):
M-001: Genuine Technical Skill Shortfall
