Why clients skim

A CV summary tells the client nothing new.

Most candidate summaries restate the CV, so clients skip them and ask for a call. A Firstview brief adds what only the interview shows.

Questions about Candidate Briefs

How do you prepare a candidate evaluation report for a client?

Firstview builds it for you. It puts the CV evaluation, the AI interview report and your team’s notes on one page in your template and brand, against the role criteria, with the candidate’s own words as evidence. You edit it block by block, translate it into the client’s language if needed and export a PDF.

What goes into a brief?

The CV evaluation, the AI interview report and your team’s meeting notes.

Can I edit it?

Yes, block by block, before you send it.

Can I hide the candidate’s name for blind recruitment?

Yes. The anonymous version removes the name, so you can share a blind shortlist.

Is a brief the same as a candidate presentation or submittal?

Yes. Agencies send briefs as their candidate presentation or submittal to the client, and in-house teams send them to hiring managers before the debrief.

Is the brief based on the same criteria as the evaluation?

Yes. The brief shows the candidate against the same role criteria used in CV screening and the AI interview, with their own words as evidence.
