Evaluate and Document a Recruiter Screen
Analyze a recruiter screen against the role requirements, generate a YES/NO recommendation for advancing to Job Fit, and produce structured bullet-point feedback ready to paste into your ATS.
Overview
After every recruiter screen, you face the same task: synthesize the interview, check alignment against the job description, rate key competencies, and write up structured feedback -- all while the details are still fresh. This MCP template connects to your Ashby account, analyzes the candidate against the role, silently calibrates against what your hiring manager has rewarded in past pipeline, and produces a structured bullet-point draft ready to paste into your ATS within minutes of the interview ending.
How it works
Connect your Ashby account. After a recruiter screen, give the AI the candidate name and role. It pulls the application data and pipeline history from Ashby, analyzes JD alignment, career narrative, and key competencies, and checks historical feedback from the same role to calibrate against your hiring manager bar -- without surfacing a visible comparison table. The output is a structured bullet-point draft covering: YES/NO recommendation to Job Fit, JD alignment, career narrative, AI fluency rating against your rubric, what to watch in Job Fit, and logistics. Overqualified candidates receive a flag rather than an automatic no, so skill and comp fit still drive the decision. If you have BrightHire transcript highlights, paste them in and they will be factored into the evaluation.
Who this is for
Built for recruiters who run multiple screens per week and want consistent, structured feedback every time -- without rebuilding the evaluation from scratch after each call. Especially useful when you want your notes to land in the ATS fast, in a format hiring managers can actually read.
Suggested prompt
Help me draft recruiter screen feedback for [candidate name] applying for [role]. I just finished the interview.
Frequently asked questions
What does YES/NO to Job Fit mean?
The template evaluates whether the candidate should advance to the Job Fit interview stage -- not whether they are a hire or no-hire. A YES to Job Fit means the candidate warrants deeper evaluation, not that they are ready for an offer. This keeps the recommendation correctly scoped for where you are in the process.
How does the hiring manager calibration work?
The template silently reviews feedback from past candidates on the same role to understand what profile the hiring manager has rewarded. This context shapes the evaluation without surfacing a visible comparison table -- so your feedback stays focused on the current candidate and does not read as a ranking exercise.
What if I use BrightHire or another interview tool?
You can paste relevant transcript highlights or notes directly into the conversation when running the template. The AI will incorporate them alongside the Ashby data to produce a more grounded evaluation -- particularly useful for the AI fluency rating and career narrative sections.
Can the feedback be posted directly to Ashby?
Yes. The template includes an Ashby action to create a candidate note, so you can post the structured feedback directly rather than copying and pasting manually. The output is formatted as bullet points specifically to match how ATS feedback fields are typically structured.
