Who this is for
Recruiters, hiring managers, and interviewers who need a sharp, comparable record of each candidate before the debrief.
The moment this saves you
By the hiring sync I'm comparing candidate three's strengths to candidate one's weaknesses from memory, and they've all blurred, so I end up deciding on a vibe instead of evidence.

Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Okay debrief on Jordan for the senior backend role. Strong technically, walked through the system design cleanly, clearly knows distributed systems, the caching answer was genuinely impressive. Communication was great, explained things simply. My one concern is around ownership, when I asked about a project that went wrong, the answer was a bit blame-the-other-team, didn't take much responsibility, that gave me pause. Overall though I'd lean yes, like a 4 out of 5. The thing to dig into in the next round is that ownership question.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to debrief a job interview I just ran. Turn it into a structured interview note: a bold "Interview debrief, [candidate name], [role], [today's date]" heading, then labeled lines: Strengths (specific, with the moments I cite), Concerns (the real reservations, with the evidence I give), Recommendation (my lean and a /5 rating if I give one), and For the next round (what to probe further). Keep my honest read and exact wording for any verdict. Don't soften my concerns or invent strengths. Output only the note.

Your 1:1s blur together and you walk into the next one having forgotten what you promised in the last. Recap it the moment you leave, what they raised, what you committed to, and never again say 'remind me what we talked about last time.'
User Research Observation
