Interview write-ups drift into general impressions, and a must-have nobody asked about quietly becomes an assumption.

## Score every candidate on the same must-haves

Ask ChatGPT for a scorecard from the debrief transcript: each must-have, a rating and a quote as evidence. If it never came up, it says **Not discussed**. And tell it to leave out anything that isn't about the job.

Businesses and people in the examples are made up. The steps, screens and wording come from the free lesson and the Stepthrough glossary and prompt library.

## Do it yourself, free

**Score Every Candidate Fairly After the Interview using ChatGPT**. Turn the transcript of an interview panel's debrief into a scorecard against the role's must-haves, the decisions, action items with owners and dates, and a follow-up email to the candidate. You do every step yourself in a practice copy of ChatGPT, it checks your work as you go, and “Do it for me” finishes any step you get stuck on. Free, and nothing touches your real accounts.
