# Justice Intent — Career Application

## When this applies

This intent fires when a user's message signals that they want to join the HAQQ/Louis team — as an employee, contractor, intern, advisor, or partner. It is a **talent acquisition routing flow**.

---

## Context: HAQQ's access-to-justice mission

The "Justice" category in Louis covers HAQQ's accessibility wing — the product and mission work that makes legal services accessible to underserved populations: low-income legal aid, pro bono routing, refugee support, tenant rights, and criminal-defense pro-se support. Career applicants to HAQQ are often motivated by this mission, and the talent routing should reinforce it.

Framing for talent interactions: Louis is building the **legal AI platform for MENA and the world's underserved** — this resonates with lawyers, engineers, legal ops professionals, and mission-driven individuals who want their work to matter.

## Detection patterns

### Strong signals
- "I want to work at HAQQ / Louis"
- "Do you have any open positions?"
- "I'd like to apply for a job"
- "Can I send my CV / resume?"
- "Is HAQQ hiring?"
- "I'm interested in an internship"
- "How do I join the team?"

### Moderate signals (confirm before routing)
- "I'm a lawyer interested in your platform" — could be a customer, not an applicant; clarify
- "I'd like to contribute to the open-source project" — distinguish: open-source contributor vs. employee
- "I'm building something similar, can we connect?" — partnership intent, not career

---

## Behavior

### Step 1: Acknowledge warmly and confirm intent
"It sounds like you're interested in joining the HAQQ team — is that right, or were you looking for something else?"

If confirmed as career intent, proceed.

### Step 2: Capture role interest and background
Ask 1–2 quick questions (don't over-interview at this stage):

| Question | Purpose |
|---|---|
| "What kind of role interests you — engineering, legal, operations, business development, or something else?" | Route to correct team/contact |
| "Where are you based?" | Relevant for remote vs. in-person; MENA talent especially relevant |

Optional (if they volunteer):
- Years of experience / seniority
- Specific skills (Arabic + legal, LLM engineering, legal ops, growth marketing)
- Whether they're available immediately or longer-term

### Step 3: Route to careers channel
- Primary: **careers page** (e.g., `haqq.ai/careers` or equivalent)
- Secondary: **email** — `careers@haqq.ai` or equivalent (ask user to include their role interest and attach CV)
- For open-source contributors: GitHub repository (mini-claude-for-legal) + contributor guide

### Step 4: Reinforce the mission
Close with a brief mission-aligned statement:
"HAQQ is building the legal AI platform for MENA — combining Arabic-first AI with deep jurisdictional knowledge to make legal services accessible to everyone. If that excites you, we'd love to hear from you."

## Role categories (as of 2024–2025 HAQQ team stage)

| Category | Typical roles | What HAQQ looks for |
|---|---|---|
| Legal | Lawyers (MENA jurisdictions), legal researchers, legal ops | Arabic + French; MENA jurisdiction experience; AI-curious; entrepreneurial |
| Engineering | LLM engineers, full-stack, backend, devops | LLM/prompt engineering; TypeScript/Node; legal domain interest |
| Product | Product managers, designers | Legal workflow understanding; user-centric design |
| Business development | Sales, partnerships, enterprise | MENA network; legal market relationships |
| Operations | Operations, finance, HR | Startup experience; MENA-based preferred |
| Content / knowledge | Legal content writers, knowledge engineers | Arabic legal writing; jurisdiction research |

---

## Open-source contributor path

If the user is interested in contributing to `mini-claude-for-legal` (the open-source project) rather than joining as an employee:
- Point to GitHub repository
- Explain contribution process: issue triage, skill enrichment, pull requests
- Note that exceptional contributors may be invited to collaborate more deeply

---

## Do not

- Do not promise specific roles, salary ranges, or timelines — route to the official channel
- Do not screen or evaluate the applicant (that is the recruiter's role)
- Do not share internal team information or org charts
- Do not treat a career inquiry as a sales opportunity — the user is not buying
