hirezen
Hirezen helps hiring teams plan structured interview loops, capture interviewer feedback, and compare recommendations side by side. AI suggests questions, drafts write-ups, and can screen applicants on request.
Who it's for
- Recruiters running first-round technical screens who need question plans and signals for assessing answers without grading code.
- Hiring managers designing multi-round loops who need to map competencies to rounds and identify gaps in must-have coverage.
- Interview teams that want individual interviewer recommendations and feedback visible together in a debrief without averaging them.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams that need automated coding tests or code grading: Hirezen says it does not provide either, so they need a separate assessment platform.
- Teams that require interviews to be recorded or transcribed: Hirezen says no bot joins and no audio, video, or transcript is stored.
How it fits your workflow
Create a position and plan its interview loop. Select a library plan or write one, assign competencies to rounds, and provide each interviewer with questions, timings, and signals to assess.
During each interview, the interviewer marks signals and records notes. AI can draft the write-up from those inputs; interviewers file their own feedback before seeing colleagues’ write-ups.
Use the debrief to compare recommendations side by side and record whether to advance, hold, or reject. Write-ups can be copied out for Greenhouse or as plain text for Ashby or elsewhere.

Key features
- Interview plans
- Use a plan from the library or write one for a round, with questions, timings, the purpose of questions, and signals for interviewers to assess.
- Interview loops and competency coverage
- Plan multiple rounds for a position, assign up to three competencies to a round, and identify must-have competencies. A grid flags must-haves covered by fewer than two rounds and rounds that claim a competency without a question for it.
- Live signal marking and write-ups
- Interviewers mark signals yes, no, or not sure as they hear evidence, then provide a recommendation from Strong No to Strong Yes. AI drafts a write-up from their notes and marks.
- Side-by-side debriefs
- Review interviewers’ recommendations and feedback side by side. Recommendations are not averaged, and a decision can be recorded with a reason.
- AI-assisted question suggestions
- AI suggests questions for a round, including when a plan needs another question.
- Applicant screening on request
- AI can screen applicants against a role on request. Screening is off when a workspace starts, and Hirezen asks where the team hires before turning it on.

Frequently asked questions
Does Hirezen record or transcribe interviews?
No. No bot joins the call, and Hirezen says it does not store audio, video, or transcripts. Interviewers type notes and mark signals during the interview, and the write-up is drafted from those.
Can a recruiter who isn’t an engineer run a technical screen with Hirezen?
Yes, for a first screen. Plans include questions, what each question is for, and signals of a strong answer. Hirezen does not set coding tests or grade code.
How does Hirezen help make sure each round tests something different?
Teams name the role’s competencies, mark must-haves, and assign competencies to rounds. A grid flags a must-have covered by fewer than two rounds and a round that claims a competency without a question for it.
Is there an interview scorecard?
The write-up serves as the scorecard. Interviewers mark signals under each question and give one recommendation, from Strong No to Strong Yes. Interviewers cannot see one another’s write-ups until they have filed their own.
What does AI do in Hirezen?
AI suggests questions and drafts write-ups from interviewer notes and marks. It can screen applicants against a role on request; screening starts off in a workspace and is enabled after Hirezen asks where the team hires. AI does not mark signals or make the recommendation.
Do I need an ATS to use Hirezen?
No. Positions, candidates, and interviews live in a Hirezen workspace. If a team uses an ATS, write-ups can be copied out formatted for a Greenhouse scorecard or as plain text for Ashby or elsewhere.
Is Hirezen free?
Yes. The free plan covers one open role at a time, up to 10 teammates, and 20 AI candidate screenings a month on request. Paid plans allow more open roles at once.
