## Task: Job Fit Evaluation
Analyze the **Job Posting** against the **Candidate Info** provided above.
### Scoring Instructions
For each section, assign a percentage match. Use semantic alignment, not just keyword matching.
**Default Weighting:**
- Responsibilities: 30%
- Required Qualifications: 30%
- Skills / Technologies / Edu: 25%
- Preferred Qualifications: 15%
### Specific Analysis Requirements
1. **Read Between the Lines:** Identify "hidden" requirements or red flags (e.g., signs of burnout culture, vague scope, or unstated seniority).
2. **ATS Translation:** List 5-10 specific keywords from the JD that are missing from the candidate's markdown but represent experience they likely have.
3. **Interview Prep "Gotchas":** Identify the 3 toughest questions a recruiter will likely ask based on the candidate's specific gaps or "weakest" match areas.
