What's great
What stood out right away was how quickly I could spin up a role with the requirements already structured. In most hiring processes, a lot of time gets lost in meetings and email threads just trying to align on what the role actually needs. This made that part much faster.
I also liked the flexibility around scheduling interviews. Being able to coordinate interviews not just for myself but for others in the loop makes the process much easier to manage.
The AI summaries after the interviews were also solid. What I appreciated most is that each insight links directly back to the exact point in the transcript. That makes it easy to verify what was said or quickly review the surrounding context without digging through the entire conversation.
What needs improvement
The candidate compare view is useful for spotting patterns across candidates and interviews. That said, it feels like a missed opportunity that the interviewer’s hiring recommendation isn’t surfaced there. It would be much more powerful if you could quickly see each interviewer’s rating or recommendation alongside the AI-generated insights.
Can Lavalier compare candidates on the same skills rubric?
Yes, candidate compare was focused sed on the skills and responsibilities defined in the role.
How does Textio ensure structured, comparable interview feedback?
The same set of questions for every candidate in the same stage regardless of who was conducting the interview.
How well does Textio work in non-English roles or markets?
Lavalier has capability to switch languages. I didn't use this function, but it looks like it would work well.
