From the README

A browser tower defence game where you are the applicant tracking system, and the applicants are the problem.

Applicants advance along a path towards a single open vacancy. You place screening mechanisms to reject them before they arrive. Anyone who gets through costs you a life, because somebody then has to read their application properly and might hire them.

A run is ten intakes long and the vacancy tolerates ten arrivals. Most of the screening budget comes back as rejections, so anyone who walks past a tower has also taken with them the money that would have bought the next one.
