Draft Personalized Interview Feedback
Use a slash command to pull a candidate from Ashby, generate evidence-based coaching bullets tied to panel criteria, and pre-fill a Skills Interview feedback email -- ready to review and send.
Overview
Writing personalized feedback for every candidate moving to Skills Interview is time-consuming -- and easy to skip when volume is high. This MCP template uses a slash command to pull the candidate automatically from Ashby, read their application responses and panel evaluation criteria, and generate specific, evidence-based coaching bullets tailored to what the panel is actually evaluating. The output is a pre-filled draft email, ready for you to review and send.
How it works
Trigger the skill with a slash command when a candidate moves to the Skills Interview stage. No name input needed -- it pulls the candidate from Ashby automatically, reads their application and any interview notes, and generates personalized feedback bullets tied to what your panel evaluates for the role. The draft lands in Ashby ready for your review. You pick it up, make any edits, and send. The skill finds and drafts; you decide and deliver.
Who this is for
Built for recruiters who want to give every candidate thoughtful, individualized feedback at the Skills Interview stage -- without spending 20-30 minutes per candidate writing it from scratch. Especially useful when you own multiple reqs and feedback quality is inconsistent based on bandwidth.

Frequently asked questions
Does this send the feedback email automatically?
No -- and that's by design. The skill finds the candidate, reads their application and panel notes, and drafts personalized coaching bullets. You review the draft, make any edits, and send it yourself. Keeping you in the loop on every piece of feedback is intentional.
What information does it use to write the feedback?
It reads the candidate's application responses, any interview notes, and the evaluation criteria tied to their role in Ashby. The more context your panel has documented in Ashby, the more specific and evidence-based the coaching bullets will be.
How long does this take per candidate?
About 2-3 minutes per candidate versus 20-30 minutes writing feedback manually. You trigger the skill with a slash command, it pulls the candidate data automatically -- no name input required -- and returns a draft ready to review and send.
Does this work for any role or only specific ones?
Any role. The skill pulls candidate data from Ashby automatically based on the candidate in the current context -- no manual role configuration needed. It adapts the feedback to what the panel evaluates for that specific position.
