How can AI coach recruiters using screening call transcripts?

Short answer: Sam Nadler says the tool takes a transcript from an AI note taker like Granola, acts as a loose filter on whether to move a candidate forward, and coaches recruiters against a rubric of about six areas.

From Episode 29: We Built an AI Recruiter Coach in 6 Hours (Plus Claude Cowork in Real Time), starting at 1:37.

Sam Nadler [1:37]: Yeah. So let me just provide a minute of context. There was a couple reasons where I why I endeavored to build this product. Number one, and it's a tool that we use here at Ryz Labs in order to analyze the recruiting screens our recruiting team performs on a daily basis. Every day, they're talking to dozens and dozens of candidates across different stacks, and we have a pretty large recruiting team. And what this tool does, and I'll demo for it, we all now use different, like, note taking AI tools. It helps summarize notes. It helps, provide key takeaways from the conversation. But most of the time, it stays kinda with the user. Well, we built a tool that will take the transcript of one of those kind of AI powered granolas or what whatever you're using and will analyze a recruiter screen, and it will then, judge the performance of the screen of not only just the candidate. Is this a candidate who we should move forward? It's actually a pretty kind of loose filter. We don't wanna prevent candidates from moving forward if they could be a good fit. It's the very first step in the process, but it analyzes if this is a candidate that we should move forward or not. But what it really does that's going to be really helpful, it helps provide coaching to the recruiters.

Sam Nadler [3:06]: You know? Did they miss an opportunity to drill deeper into a candidate's, previous experience? Did they cover next steps? Did they engage in a conversation about compensation? And there's we have a rubric of about six, different areas that we hope our recruiters cover in a very fast phone call. It's twenty five minutes. So it's a lot to cover, and it's hard to check off all the boxes. But, hopefully, with this tool, we can really help coach our different recruiters in the areas. We try a lot to make the screen experience consistent, but this now will give us some tools to be able to do that. So let me walk you quickly through this tool.
