The problem it solves
Interviewers too often join a call having skimmed a resume in the hallway, asking generic questions that miss what the stage is actually meant to assess. This agent pulls the role scorecard, resume, LinkedIn, and public web signal into a 3-to-5-minute prep kit per interview, so every panelist knows who they're meeting, what to probe, and exactly what they own on the scorecard.
Who it's for
- Recruiters and recruiting coordinators at a recruiting agency or in-house talent team
- Talent acquisition leads running structured, scorecard-based interview loops
- Hiring managers who assemble and brief interview panels
- Staffing and search firms preparing client-facing candidate briefs
- People-ops teams standardizing interview quality across many open roles
What it does
- 1
Find the interviews in scope
Pull interviews from the trigger you set: everything in the next lookahead window (24 hours by default), a specific interview you name, or an ATS stage change.
- 2
Pull the role context
Read the stage scorecard or competencies, the job description, and the panel from your ATS, noting which interviewer owns which competency.
- 3
Build the candidate picture
Reconcile the resume, LinkedIn, and public web signal into one cited profile, marking anything it cannot verify as unverified rather than asserting it.
- 4
Assemble the interviewer dossier
Produce a one-paragraph summary, validated highlights, fair things-to-probe framed as questions, and scorecard-aligned questions tailored to this candidate.
- 5
Draft the candidate prep note (optional)
When enabled, write a warm note covering who the candidate will meet, the format, and the focus, kept as a draft for the recruiter to send.
- 6
Run a preliminary screen (optional)
For early-stage roles, score the candidate against the JD must-haves as met, not-met, or unclear with evidence, as a prep aid rather than a decision.
- 7
Deliver and attach to the ATS
Post the dossier to the panel over Slack and/or email and attach the kit to the candidate's ATS record, early enough that people actually read it.
Key benefits
- Every interviewer arrives prepared with a kit they can skim in 3 to 5 minutes
- Questions map to the stage scorecard and to this candidate, not a generic bank
- Every claim is cited and unverifiable facts are labeled, so panelists can trust the kit
- Gaps and mismatches surface neutrally as questions to ask, not as verdicts
- The kit lives on the ATS record, so it stays with the application
- Candidate-facing notes stay drafts, keeping a human in control of what goes out
Sample use cases
A four-person onsite panel is interviewing a senior engineer tomorrow afternoon
The agent builds one dossier with the candidate summary, cited highlights, and scorecard-aligned questions split by competency, labeling which interviewer asks what, and posts it to the panel's Slack channel the evening before.
A recruiter at a staffing agency needs to brief a client interviewer fast
The agent reconciles the resume against LinkedIn, flags a short tenure neutrally as a question to probe, and delivers a clean, cited brief the recruiter can forward without rewriting it.
An early-stage phone screen is on the calendar for a role with hard must-haves
The agent produces a preliminary screen scoring the candidate against each JD must-have as met, not-met, or unclear with evidence, so the screener knows exactly what to confirm without auto-advancing anyone.
A candidate asks what to expect before a final round
The agent drafts a warm prep note covering who they'll meet, the format, duration, and focus, then hands it to the recruiter to review and send.
Key integrations
Greenhouse
ATS read for the candidate, role, stage, panel, and scorecard, and the place the finished kit is attached.
Ashby
Alternative ATS for pulling role context and scorecards and attaching the kit to the candidate record.
Lever
Alternative ATS supported for candidate, stage, and panel data and kit attachment.
Google Drive
A common place resumes live when they are not attached directly in the ATS.
LinkedIn
Browser-based enrichment to validate the resume, confirm current role and trajectory, and fill gaps.
Slack
Delivery channel for posting the dossier to the interview panel.
Email
Delivery channel for sending the kit to interviewers who prefer it over chat.
The kit is built to be skimmable in a few minutes: a one-paragraph summary up top, then highlights, things to probe, and questions, with deeper detail kept below the fold. When a panel splits competencies, the dossier tells each interviewer exactly what they are assessing and which questions are theirs to ask.
It pairs naturally with an interview scheduling workflow, so the prep kit can ride along in the panel's calendar invite for the interview it just booked.
Getting started
- Import the workspace — Drag the template zip into the Gamut agent import dialog or install it from the marketplace.
- Run the onboarding interview — A setup session starts automatically and walks you through your ATS, resume source, scorecard, which outputs you want, the lookahead window, delivery channel, candidate voice, and trigger, then connects your accounts.
- Give it a first task — Ask it to build the prep kit for a named candidate's upcoming interview and show you the dossier and the tailored questions.
Frequently asked questions
Does the agent send anything to candidates or make decisions on its own?
No. Candidate-facing notes and screening summaries are drafts and aids only. A human reviews and sends every candidate message and decides whether to advance or reject; the agent never acts without approval.
Which systems does the Interview Prep Kit work with?
It connects to your ATS (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, or similar), wherever resumes live such as Google Drive, LinkedIn and web search for enrichment, and Slack and/or email for delivery. Most connect via OAuth; an ATS API key is only needed if your ATS requires one.
How is this different from prepping interviews manually or with a generic AI tool?
A generic tool gives you a boilerplate question bank and unverified summaries. This agent maps every question to the stage scorecard and to this specific candidate, cites each claim, labels anything unverifiable, and attaches the kit straight to the ATS record.
Is the candidate research accurate, or does it make things up?
It never fabricates facts. Every claim ties to a source, whether the resume, ATS profile, LinkedIn, or a cited web result, and anything it cannot verify is marked unverified rather than asserted.
Can a recruiting agency use this across many roles and clients at once?
Yes. The agent runs the same workflow per interview regardless of role or client, pulling each one's scorecard and panel so a recruiting agency can keep interview quality consistent across a busy pipeline.
How much does it cost?
The template itself is free to import from the Gamut marketplace. You run it in your own Gamut workspace and connect your existing ATS, resume storage, and delivery accounts, so there is no separate per-kit fee.
