Interviewing candidates the same way every time
Run a structured interview from a template, keep your questions in front of you, and leave with notes you did not have to type.
Fair hiring means asking comparable questions and judging comparable answers. In practice the third interview of the day drifts, because you are tired and the conversation is interesting.
A template keeps the questions in order and in front of you, on a screen the candidate cannot see even when you are sharing one. Listen transcribes on your Mac and labels who spoke.
The brief afterwards is about what was said, not what you remember by the evening.
What you would be using
- Templates for a structured interview, used on every plan, and created and edited on Pro
- Listen with on-device transcription and speaker labels, never limited
- The wrap-up brief, on Pro, so the write-up is not done from memory
- Prepared questions and prep, on Pro
What it does not do
It is a notetaking tool for somebody in the conversation, not a monitoring product. Recording and transcribing people is governed by law where you are, and telling candidates plainly is both the rule in many places and the decent thing.
For this, look at Pro
The wrap-up brief, prepared questions, and editing your own templates are on Pro. Using templates and Listen is free, so you can run a structured interview before paying for anything.
Not quite you? Answer three questions and get the plan that fits.
A scenario, not a case study. Nobody here is a real customer.
