What Hireguide is
Hireguide is about consistency rather than automation of decisions. It generates and manages interview plans, records notes automatically so nothing is lost, and gives interviewers scorecards so candidates are compared on the same criteria rather than on whoever wrote the clearest feedback.
What you can do with it
- Create interview plans per role
- Capture interview notes automatically
- Score candidates against shared criteria
- Compare candidates across interviewers
- Review hiring decisions together
Who it is for
- Hiring teams with many interviewers
- Companies scaling their process
- Managers tired of inconsistent feedback
What to watch out for
- Automated note taking means recording or transcribing interviews, which requires candidate notice and often consent
- Scorecards help only if the criteria are job-related; poorly chosen criteria make bias tidier rather than smaller
- Automated notes can misattribute or summarise wrongly; interviewers must review them
- Insights drawn from past hiring data inherit whatever bias the past data contained

Whether scorecard criteria are actually job-related.
