For recruiting and talent teams

Every candidate read the same way.

Interviews are transcribed and turned into a structured read against the role — the same criteria for everyone, each one quoted from what the candidate actually said. Your panel still makes the call. It just stops making it from memory.

We had a read-heavy path that kept falling over at peak, so I split the write path onto its own service and put a read replica behind a cache — it bought us about eighteen months of headroom.

Evidence for System design

Today

By the debrief, the first interview was eleven candidates ago

Everyone scribbled different notes against different questions. The strongest impression wins, nobody can point at what was actually said, and when a rejected candidate asks why, there is nothing to show them. The scorecard exists. The evidence behind it does not.

  • Tomás R.Strong

    I'd start by asking what the read-to-write ratio actually is, because sharding a table nobody reads twice is just operational cost. Then I'd look at where the contention is.

  • Wen L.Partial

    Honestly the design was handed to me. I owned the rollout rather than the architecture, so I can talk about what broke more than why we chose it.

    We were writing patient events twice, once for audit. I moved audit onto a log-structured store and made the primary path append-only, which killed a whole class of consistency bugs.

Every line above is quoted from the interview it came from. Nothing here scores, ranks or screens a candidate out — the panel does that, with the evidence in front of them.

Three steps, and the panel keeps the decision

  1. 01

    Set the role once

    The criteria you are hiring against, and the questions every candidate should be asked. One structure for the whole pipeline.

  2. 02

    Run the interview

    On video or in the room. It is transcribed with speakers separated, in the language the interview was actually held in.

  3. 03

    Hand the panel evidence

    Each candidate against the same criteria, every line traceable to a timestamp — so the debrief argues about what was said.

What it would do

  • Interview transcription

    Speaker-separated and timestamped, for remote and in-room interviews alike, in the language it was held in.

  • One structure per role

    Your criteria, filled in from the interview, in the same shape for everyone in the pipeline instead of six formats.

  • Evidence you can point at

    Every line traces back to a timestamp. Nothing is asserted about a candidate without the sentence it came from.

  • Coverage check

    Which of the role's questions actually got asked — and which interviewer keeps running out of time before the last one.

  • The decision stays yours

    It does not rank, score out or recommend a hire. It produces evidence and structure; your panel does the rest.

  • Something to show afterwards

    A record of what was asked and what was answered, for the debrief, the offer, and the candidate who asks why not.

Pricing we're considering

A hypothesis, not an offer. Part of what we are testing is whether this is priced anywhere near right — nothing is charged, and there is nothing to buy today.
