Brief interviewers before each interview

A one-page brief from the candidate's resume and work samples, with the focus for this round.

  • On an event: Two hours before each interview in your calendar

What it does

The task

Find the interviews in my Google Calendar that start in the next 2 hours and have no brief yet. For each one, open the candidate in Greenhouse and read the resume, the application answers, the earlier scorecards and the work samples or GitHub links that the candidate sent. Write a brief of one page: background, strengths and gaps for the job, open questions from earlier rounds, and the focus for this round from the interview plan. Use only what the candidate and the team wrote. Save it as a Google Doc and add the link to the event.

  • It works in Google Calendar, Greenhouse, GitHub and Google Docs, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • A routine checks every 15 minutes and acts on what is new: two hours before each interview in your calendar.
