How Briefing Room works
Every stage of hiring, what the product does about it, and what it deliberately doesn't do.
- 00What Briefing Room isA hiring workspace for small teams where every score cites the evidence behind it and every automatic decision records why it was taken.
- 01Getting startedThe steps from a new account to a published role with its first candidates, and where each one is in the app.
- 02Defining the roleTurn a conversation or a pasted job description into a weighted rubric the whole team scores against, versioned so an old assessment still reads against the rubric that produced it.
- 03Publishing a roleA job goes live once the company has verified a work email on its own domain, a person has confirmed the role's facts, both decision thresholds are set, and the role names its country. Nothing else in the product waits on these.
- 04Getting candidates inYour careers page, résumés you upload and (once available) your ATS all admit candidates the same way, so identical applicants are treated identically.
- 05ATS integrationsNot available yet. When it is, your applicant tracking system will send applicants in, anything that cannot be matched to a role will wait for a person rather than be guessed at, and nothing will be written back.
- 06Reading résumésExtract the text, refuse to score what cannot be read, redact identifying details, then score against the rubric with a verbatim quote behind every criterion and a gap list the screen goes after.
- 07InterviewingAn AI voice screen and a human-led round share one room, one transcript pipeline and one scorer, so the two are comparable and neither depends on notes taken while listening.
- 08Coaching the roundA brief before the interview naming what is still uncovered, a co-pilot during it suggesting probes at a named criterion, and a quoted critique of the interviewer afterwards.
- 09DecidingTwo numbers per job say who moves on and who is rejected, at the résumé score and after every scored round. Automatic decisions are off until an admin turns them on; until then, and for everyone between the two numbers, a person decides.
- 10The pipelineA per-job board whose stage history is an append-only event log, where every move records why it happened and rejecting someone stops the automation already in flight for them.
- 11Talking to candidatesOne email thread per application, deterministic lifecycle messages, and an agent that classifies replies and only ever sends the narrow reply it is allowed to send.
- 12ComplianceWhat the platform does about US automated-hiring obligations, which duties remain the employer's, and the gaps it does not paper over.
- 13IntegrationsHow to connect each outside tool (calendars, the Zoom, Meet and Teams note taker, Granola, Claude, job boards, an ATS), who sets it up, the exact steps, and what you see when it is not set up yet.
