The dashboard is the source of truth. The email is a nudge.

Drill in

Six things you see on every finalist, in one click.

01

Score breakdown.

Per-trait, with evidence. Not a single black-box number; a stack of numbers, each tied to a thing the candidate did or said.

02

Screen transcript.

The full conversation, scrollable, with the bits we found most informative highlighted.

03

Assessment results.

Per-module scores, percentile against role norms, and the raw responses on open-ended items.

04

Interview transcript.

Full audio and text, with the model's notes on each behavioural anchor and scenario.

05

Salary and notice.

Comp expectation, notice period, right-to-work, location, working pattern. All asked in the screen, all confirmed in the interview.

06

Suggested human-interview questions.

Three to five questions tailored to what we saw, sized for a 45-minute final round.

Side by side

Compare up to four candidates at once.

Pick two, three, or four candidates and Picked lays them out side by side. Strengths, risks, evidence, score breakdown, salary expectation, notice period, all in one view. Sortable by any trait. Exportable as a PDF for a hiring conversation with your team.

When you disagree with the model

Thumbs down. The list re-ranks with reasoning.

Picked makes a recommendation; you do not have to take it. Thumbs down on any of the top three and the model re-ranks the list, explaining what it weighted differently and which signals it now treats as less reliable. You can over-ride permanently or just for this role.

●Per-role calibration: your taste, not the platform's.
●Per-trait override: tell us cognitive ability matters less for this role; we listen.
●Per-criteria veto: hard-no on a specific signal; we promote a different finalist immediately.

What you do from the dashboard

Four buttons. The rest of the process flows from them.

Shortlist.

Pull a candidate into your human final round. Picked sets up the scheduling in V2; today you copy the candidate into your calendar.

Reject (respectfully).

Picked sends the candidate a personalised post-rejection note with feedback. You never write a polite no email again.

Message.

Ask the candidate a question. Their answer feeds back into the file.

Flag for human review.

Internal escalation if something feels off. A Picked reviewer audits the file within one business day.
