From the JD to the brief.
Scout sits on one step — the screen — and does it completely: capture the conversation, separate the speakers, map the evidence to your requirements, and hand back a brief. Here is the whole pipeline, end to end.
Six steps, mostly automatic.
You scope the role and run the call. Scout handles everything between the conversation and the brief.
Scope the role
Paste the JD and any notes from the hiring manager. Scout drafts the topics to cover — yours to edit before the call.
Run the call
Take the intake call exactly as you do today. Scout listens silently and never prompts you mid-conversation.
Capture the audio
Your browser mic records the room, or a meeting bot captures each speaker on Zoom or Teams. You pick per screening.
Transcribe & separate speakers
The recording becomes a speaker-labelled transcript, normalized to one schema regardless of how it was captured.
Extract the signal
Scout reads the transcript against your topics and pulls the candidate’s own words for each one — covered, partial, or not mentioned.
Review & brief
A few minutes after you hang up, the brief is in your vault. Render your verdict in The Read and export or paste it anywhere.
Two ways to capture. One pipeline.
How Scout listens is the only thing that changes between a speakerphone call and a headphones call. You choose per screening — Scout never auto-detects or joins a meeting you didn’t send it to.
On speakerphone
Take the call on speakerphone with Scout open beside you. Your browser microphone records the room; nothing joins the meeting. Audio is written locally during the call and uploaded in the background.
On headphones
On Zoom or Teams, Scout sends a meeting bot that joins as a participant and captures each speaker on a separate track. Same vault, same brief — cleaner speaker separation.
Both paths land in the same store and converge on one pipeline.
Speaker-separated transcript, then signal.
The recording is transcribed into a speaker-labelled transcript, normalized to one schema, and read for signal — what the candidate said about each topic, in their own words. The brief reads the same whether the call came in on speakerphone or through the bot.
No signal logic depends on a field only one capture mode produces.
What lands in your vault.
A screening summary, a structured candidate profile, and topic coverage — each topic marked covered, partially covered, or not mentioned, with the candidate’s own quotes attached.
Screening summary
Software engineer with 8 years of experience. Has led a 6-person payments team at a fintech for the past 4 years; the team owns the routing layer for the transaction-processing platform. Resume lists Java and Python as production languages. The JD references Go as the primary language; the candidate stated they have written Go for side projects but not in production.
Topic coverage
Scout lays out the facts. You make the call.
Each requirement, the candidate’s own words next to it, and a verdict that’s yours. Scout never decides — it makes deciding fast, with the evidence already beside every call.
Post the role. Read every resume the same way.
Spin up a public page for a role and share the link. Resumes land in a queue — flip through them, render each one for free, and analyze the ones worth a closer look. Analysis is something you trigger, never automatic, so you decide what gets read.
Every resume you analyze is held to the requirements you set and described in the candidate’s own words — same rubric, no fatigue, no drift. Campaigns come with hiring Rosa and with your free trial.
What Scout does — and deliberately doesn’t.
Scout owns the screen and hands off neatly to everything you already use. The focus is the point: it keeps you out of yet another platform to manage.
- Captures the intake calls you run — speakerphone or meeting bot
- Reads every resume on a public role page against your requirements
- Runs full intake conversations on your behalf when you hire Rosa
- Sets your criteria beside the evidence so your verdict takes seconds
- Keeps a private, searchable vault of everything you’ve screened
- Exports to PDF and copies cleanly into any ATS
- Score, rank, or recommend candidates
- Manage pipeline stages or run a Kanban
- Send outreach, schedule calls, or chase candidates
- Integrate with your ATS — you export and paste
- Host a candidate database or marketplace
- Coach you in real time during the call
- Surface anything about you to your firm’s leadership
Your data stays yours.
Recruiters own their vault. Candidate data has a narrow purpose: the originating recruiter’s screening, nothing else.
Your vault, your data
Everything you screen lives in a private vault you control. Export it or delete it whenever you want.
Audio expires
Recordings are retained for 90 days, then removed automatically by lifecycle policy.
Narrow purpose
A candidate’s data is used only for the originating recruiter’s screening — never pooled or resold.
Scoped to you
Every screening is tied to your account — other recruiters never see your candidates or your reads.
