      "auto-disposition is correctly applied based on the configured ${SCREENING_SCORE} rule, and manual recruiter screening is correctly recorded",
      "candidates are correctly ranked and shortlisted according to ${SCREENING_SCORE} and ${RANKING_CRITERIA}",

    "scope_note": "A negative or security Candidate Screening scenario passes when Oracle correctly enforces the expected data, eligibility or security rule; this test does not attempt to certify a specific Oracle application defect. Where an entry or validation appears unexpected or its cause is unclear, it is treated as requiring further investigation and supporting evidence rather than a confirmed conclusion. This page catalogs 22 individual Candidate Screening scenarios as a single comprehensive reference rather than as separate indexable pages, and uses only masked or synthetic candidate data throughout."
