What is in the brief

A prep that respects your time.

Every brief is written for this candidate, this role, and this team. Not a template. Not a form.

Questions, for this person

Pulled from the resume and the social signals, not a generic list. The easy ones get cut, the revealing ones stay.

Rubric, written in advance

Every question carries a scoring ladder. No trying to compare apples to pears after the fact.

Red flags, surfaced early

Gaps between roles, title inflation, thin public work, claims the sources do not support. You choose what to probe.

Signals, plain English

A short summary at the top. What this person is strong at, what to check, what to watch for.

Notes, auto stitched

Your notes attach to the question. The summary writes itself once the call ends.

Time aware

Half hour screen, sixty minute deep dive, or a two part panel. The brief scales to the slot.

Before the call

Ready on open, never a blank page.

Interview Assist runs as soon as a candidate hits the interview stage. By the time you open the card, the brief is already waiting, refreshed against the latest signals.

  • Questions weighted by importance to the role
  • Rubric per question, consistent across candidates
  • Red flags tied to the exact source that raised them
