BACKEND ENGINEER / CRITERION 01
Built Python services used in production
Evidence to look for
A named service, what the person built, and a described production context.
A keyword alone leaves a question open.

01 / THE WORKFLOW
From your criteria
to the supplied evidence.
Define what matters. Read the profile at your own pace. Keep the review beside your work.
30-second product film · Sound and English captions · Illustrative data, simulated reviews and a simplified interface. No live inference or performance demonstration.
Video could not load. The illustrated walkthrough below covers the same workflow.
Write the criteria you actually use.
Save up to five roles. Define one to five criteria for each, without uploading a full job description.
Scroll through the profile yourself.
With permission granted and the panel open, follow Basic information, About, Experience and Education as they become readable.
Open the evidence. Ask better follow-ups.
Read source excerpts and switch roles. “Not evidenced” means the supplied text did not establish a criterion.
Keep control of the session.
Pause Auto-review or close the panel to stop new capture. Send optional feedback through your own email app.
Screenshots show the v0.2.7 interface with fictional data and simulated decisions. They do not demonstrate live model accuracy or response speed.
02 / TAKE A STARTING POINT
Better questions.
Ready to make your own.
Copy a template, adapt it to your opening, and confirm each criterion in Setup. These are prompts for evidence review, not universal hiring requirements.
DATA
Data Engineer
Look for what the person implemented or maintained, and the context in which it ran.
PRODUCT
Product Manager
Look for specific decisions, collaboration and outcomes. Treat missing detail as a follow-up question.
Editable here. Nothing you type in these templates is saved or sent.
03 / BEFORE YOUR FIRST REVIEW
A small setup.
Your own standards.
Install CriteriaCue from the Chrome Web Store. Available in the United States for the initial launch.
- 01
Install from the Chrome Web Store.
Use Chrome 142 or later. The first installation opens the separate Setup page.
- 02
Add a role and your TypeSafe key.
Confirm your criteria. Use your own TypeSafe account and service access; separate TypeSafe charges may apply.
- 03
Grant access, then open a profile.
Choose “Allow LinkedIn access.” Open an authorized individual LinkedIn profile and the CriteriaCue side panel. Scroll through Experience and Education. Auto-review starts when the required sections have been read and stabilized.
A few things worth knowing
What does “free” include?
The extension itself is free and has no CriteriaCue registration. Live AI review needs your own TypeSafe key. TypeSafe service usage is separate, and CriteriaCue includes no AI credits.
What happens to the information?
Captured professional text and your explicit criteria are sent directly to TypeSafe for review. Role titles and profile URLs stay local. The extension has no application backend. From version 0.2.9, optional usage analytics are off until you enable them; no candidate content, keys or profile URLs are included. This website uses limited visit and installation-link statistics, as described in its website privacy notice. Read the privacy policy for storage and service details.
Does it decide who to hire?
No. Evidence states help you inspect supplied information. They are not candidate rankings, suitability scores or hiring decisions. Missing evidence does not prove a person lacks a skill.
How can I give feedback?
Email support@minus.team. Share what you tried and what happened. Please leave out candidate details and API keys. Sending feedback does not subscribe you to marketing.
