Step 2: Job Requirements and Qualifying Criteria

Step 2 — Job Requirements

Upload or paste your Job Description. Hansa reads it and automatically extracts qualifying criteria in two tiers:

Tier	Weight in ACE Score	What it means
Must Have	70%	Non-negotiable requirements. Missing any drops the score significantly.
Good to Have	30%	Desirable but optional. Improves the score without determining pass/fail alone.

Take time here. Read every criterion. Edit anything that looks wrong. Delete anything irrelevant. Add anything missing. Use the 'Rethink' button to regenerate the full list if needed.

Warning: If Must Have criteria are too vague, every candidate will score high and you won't be able to differentiate them. If too narrow, great candidates get filtered out silently. This is the most common mistake on Hansa.
