# Brifo for Recruiters

Brifo captures candidate screens and interview debriefs on macOS. Structured competency notes, no bot, ready for ATS handoff.

## What Recruiters struggle with
- 20+ candidate touchpoints a week across multiple roles
- Interview debrief notes get filed inconsistently across hiring managers
- Candidate competency observations blur between rounds
- ATS notes are usually shallow. Depth gets lost.
- Reference call notes scatter across hiring panels
- Candidate sourcing intros need structured follow-up tracking

## How Brifo helps
### Structured debrief per interview round
Each interview generates a structured competency note (signal observed, gaps, recommendation) ready for ATS.

### Cross-round consistency
Pull every interview note for a candidate to assemble a hiring decision packet. No more reconstruction.

### Reference call capture
Reference checks get structured into pros, cons, red-flags format automatically.

### No bot in candidate conversations
Candidates don't see a third party in the call. Better candidate experience.

### Sourcing intro follow-up
Action items from sourcing calls (send the JD, schedule round 2, intro to hiring manager) extracted automatically.

### Free during beta
Independent recruiters and small TA teams: zero cost.

## A day in your week
- **9:00 AM**: Candidate phone screen (Brifo: Competency note generates, ready to send to hiring manager)
- **11:00 AM**: Reference call (Brifo: Pros, cons, red-flags structured automatically)
- **1:00 PM**: Hiring manager debrief (Brifo: Captures yes/no signals plus reasoning for hiring packet)
- **3:00 PM**: Sourcing intro call (Brifo: Follow-up action items extracted (send JD, schedule next))
- **4:00 PM**: Candidate offer conversation (Brifo: Captures expectations set, ready for offer letter context)

## TL;DR
Recruiters live in candidate calls. Brifo structures every screen, debrief, and reference into ATS-ready notes. Bot-free, on macOS, free during beta.

Recruiting is structured conversation at high volume. Screens, debriefs, references, offer calls, sourcing intros. Every conversation has a specific output the ATS or hiring panel needs. The bottleneck is rarely the conversation itself, it's the time after the conversation spent writing it up in the right shape. Brifo collapses that. Each call generates a structured note in the appropriate format (competency observation for screens, pros and cons for references, decision rationale for debriefs). For solo recruiters and small TA teams, this is 5 to 10 hours a week of recovered time. For candidates, the absence of a visible bot in the call quietly improves the experience.

## FAQ
**Can Brifo replace my ATS notes?**

Brifo generates the structured notes. You'd still paste them into your ATS. Native ATS integrations (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) are on the roadmap.

**Is Brifo safe for sensitive candidate conversations?**

Yes. Audio stays on your Mac, transcript only goes to cloud. No third party in the call.

**Does Brifo handle interview debriefs across multiple interviewers?**

Each interviewer runs Brifo on their own Mac. Notes get assembled into the hiring packet via export and share.

**Will Brifo work for reference checks?**

Yes. Structured pros, cons, red-flags format generated automatically from the call.

**Can recruiters use Brifo for free?**

Yes. Free during public beta on macOS.

**Does Brifo replace my recruiter CRM?**

No. Brifo captures and structures meetings. Recruiter CRMs (Gem, HireSweet, etc.) are pipeline tools and serve different needs.
