Use an interview notetaker, with consent, and fill the scorecard from the transcript

Interview notetakers like Metaview, BrightHire or your ATS's built-in notetaker write notes mapped to your scorecard. Tell candidates and get consent; the interviewer still scores.

Quick wins

Have you tried…

Have you used an AI notetaker in interviews, with the candidate's consent?
Tools like Metaview or BrightHire write interview notes mapped to your scorecard so you can listen instead of typing. You still do the scoring.
Does your ATS remind interviewers to submit feedback automatically?
Most applicant tracking systems can nudge interviewers by email or Slack after an interview, so you stop chasing scorecards yourself.
