Brief

Interview prep, already done.

Make five minute video recaps of your upcoming daily interviews.

Brief prepares every candidate already on your calendar against the role you're hiring for: what they've demonstrated, what's still unclear, and what to focus on in the call.

The information exists. The recruiter still has to reconstruct the context.

Repeat that across five interviews, three roles and a full day of calls.

It doesn't tell you whether someone is an “87% match.”

That isn't the decision a recruiter needs to make before a call.

Not this

87% match

“Strong candidate based on relevant experience.”

“AI recommends progressing.”

Evidence found

Has owned technical B2B workflows.

Still unclear

Actual depth of product strategy ownership.

Focus this call

Ask for one difficult tradeoff they personally made.

Brief separates evidence from inference so the interview can resolve the rest.

The same candidate can be interesting for different reasons.

Brief does not summarize profiles in isolation. It prepares them against the role you're actually hiring for.

Built for recruiters carrying too much context.

You probably feel this if:

  • You recruit across several very different roles at once.
  • You regularly have 4 to 8 candidate calls in a day.
  • Candidate context lives across your calendar, ATS, LinkedIn and CVs.
  • You find yourself reopening profiles minutes before interviews.
  • Your recruiting team knows what better preparation looks like but does not have time to do it every time.
  • Your engineering team has more important priorities than building internal recruiter tooling.

Brief does the context loading before you join the call.

Open it once in the morning.

No new candidate database. No second ATS. No recruiting workflow to rebuild.

The pilot will begin with a limited set of ATS integrations.

Candidate data stays candidate data.

  • Brief only uses candidate information needed to prepare the interview.
  • Evidence is linked back to its source rather than presented as hidden AI judgment.
  • The product does not create opaque candidate rankings or fit scores.

If your interview prep currently happens between calls, I want to talk to you.

I'm testing Brief with recruiting teams carrying high interview volume across multiple roles.

Early access. Short feedback loop. No sales sequence.
